Steve Thomas




Cards Sent: August 24th, 2009
Received: September 2nd, 2009
Steve Thomas has played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Blackhawks, New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils, Anaheim Mighty Ducks and Detroit Red Wings over the course of 20 seasons. Some of the first games I ever saw on TV revolved around Steve Thomas and the New York Islanders when he used to kill it. He's one of those solid all-around players that really develops a team into a team with real grit and backbone.

Norm Ullman




Cards Sent: August 7th, 2009
Recieved: August 13th, 2009
Norm Ullman was a rookie with the Detroit Red Wings 54 years ago. One of the greatest players ever to never win a Stanley Cup. He ended up playing for Toronto around the end of his NHL career and the Edmonton Oilers for the end of his hockey career overall in the WHA. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1982 and also the first famous guy I ever met in my life when I was 8 years old.

Daymond Langkow & Sergei Berezin

Daymond Langkow has always been one of those stand-out hockey players for me since I could remember. He started his career with the Tampa Bay Lightning before being traded to the Philadelphia Flyers, Phoenix Coyotes and now has made a home with the Calgary Flames.

I remember Sergei Berezin from when I was a kid. My buddy Mike and me were 12 years old swapping Berezin cards because we all thought he was the next best thing. He started his NHL career after being drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs. After a few seasons he went to the Phoenix Coyotes, then Montreal Canadiens where he recorded the 10,000th goal in franchise history at home. He was then dealt to the Chicago Blackhawks and Washington Capitals before ending his short NHL career in 2003.
