Hot Start: Collecting the Original Atlanta Flames

August 16, 2023 By Stephen Laroche

With the World Hockey Association threatening to bring high-level pro hockey to non-traditional markets in the early 1970s, the National Hockey League was ready to head them off at the pass. Among their moves was to bring the fast growing city of Atlanta into the fold. Minor league hockey had varying degrees of success below the Mason-Dixon line prior to the birth of the … [Read more...] about Hot Start: Collecting the Original Atlanta Flames

50 Years Later: Memories of the First WHA Trading Card Set and the Deal That Gave the League Its Big Star

March 9, 2023 By Jeff Morris

I cringe when I say I am going to write about what I was doing 50 years ago this week. The reason I cringe is that it was 50 years ago and it feels like it was not that long ago. I have become that old guy that I used to make fun of for saying exactly what I just did. I will be honest, though, I don’t remember every wax box I cracked open in my lifetime. But this one, 50 … [Read more...] about 50 Years Later: Memories of the First WHA Trading Card Set and the Deal That Gave the League Its Big Star

Drafts, Trades and Head Transplants: Guy Lafleur’s Domino Impact On 1971-72 O-Pee-Chee Hockey

May 9, 2022 By Jeff Morris

The hockey world stopped to pay tribute to Guy Lafleur over the last two weeks. In some NHL arenas, it was a tribute on the jumbotron. In others, it meant more. In Ottawa, for example, the Senators hosted the Montreal Canadiens the day after the hockey legend's passing. There was a moment of silence and a tribute, and there was not a dry eye in the house. As I stood there, … [Read more...] about Drafts, Trades and Head Transplants: Guy Lafleur’s Domino Impact On 1971-72 O-Pee-Chee Hockey

Ken Dryden Rookie Card Turns 50

January 11, 2022 By Jeff Morris

One of the most iconic hockey cards of all time is celebrating it’s 50th birthday this season.

The Dryden rookie card is widely considered the premier hockey card of the 1970s. Just … [Read more...] about Ken Dryden Rookie Card Turns 50

The Big Three: Collecting the Heart of the 1970s Montreal Canadiens

January 12, 2020 By Stephen Laroche

Throughout the 1970s, the Montreal Canadiens were the most dominant club in hockey. While the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers tried to wrestle that title away from them throughout the decade, the team's defense corps that featured the Hall of Fame trio of Larry Robinson, Serge Savard, and Guy Lapointe ensure that Lord Stanley's Mug was staying with the Bleu, Blanc et … [Read more...] about The Big Three: Collecting the Heart of the 1970s Montreal Canadiens

Capital Punishment: Hockey Cards of the Original Washington Capitals

July 8, 2019 By Stephen Laroche

With the World Hockey Association spreading into markets throughout North America in the early 1970s, the National Hockey League needed to combat the rival league - even if it meant expanding at a dangerous rate and watering down the amount of talent playing at the highest pro level at the time. Enter the 1974-75 Washington Capitals - a club whose auspicious start ranks as the … [Read more...] about Capital Punishment: Hockey Cards of the Original Washington Capitals

1977-78 O-Pee-Chee WHA Has A Difficult Legacy

June 24, 2019 By Stephen Laroche

Down to eight teams heading into the 1977-78 season, the World Hockey Association was on its last legs, but that did not stop them from being involved in a trading card project for the fourth straight year. The 1977-78 O-Pee-Chee WHA set marked the end of an era, whether or not collectors cared much at the time. Even now, it appears that O-Pee-Chee got a little overzealous … [Read more...] about 1977-78 O-Pee-Chee WHA Has A Difficult Legacy
