Panini America has confirmed what collectors of 2010-11 Score Hockey no doubt already have discovered: seven players who signed for the Hot Rookies Signatures insert are in significantly shorter supply than the other 10 players in the set, most of them 30 percent shorter.
Due to a production discrepancy, it took company officials a little longer than normal to nail down the specifics of the situation. The seven short-printed players are:
#505 Nick Palmieri
#523 Nick Bonino

#527 Bobby Butler
#534 Philip Larsen
#535 Jared Cowen
#539 Zach Hamill
#549 Adam McQuaid
