Hey Everyone,
Recently, during one of my research sessions online, I was looking up a player who has no NHL cards-Dan Hodgson. I knew he had cards out there somewhere but nothing that was NHL licensed. Anyway, during this process I found out that he was from my hometown but moved away to Fort McMurray as a child. I remember my brothers saying there was an NHL player from our hometown but, I never bought it. After I had found out that he was actually from my hometown I asked my dad if he knew anything about this guy. Well, after a conversation with my dad, I found out that he is my cousin! Dan Hodgson's mom and my dad are first cousins. Dan spent four seasons between the NHL and the AHL and I guess he never played long enough in one season to get a hockey card. Luckily, I've dug one up on eBay and it was in the form of a Panini sticker. Although it isn't a rookie card, this will sit in my collection until I can find one of his Prince Albert Raiders WHL cards.
Oh yeah, did I mention he won a World Junior gold medal with team Canada in 1985 and also won a Memorial Cup the same season? Pretty cool, huh?

I picked this George Armstrong card up off of eBay and thought I got it for a pretty fair price ($5.00)! I never heard of nor seen these cards before and thought it was pretty cool! It's about the size of a Beehive card.
1963-64 Toronto Star George Armstrong
I have a hoard of Reggie Leach rookie cards in my collection and have slowly been picking up some of his other base cards from the 70s. This one is in beautiful condition.
1973-74 OPC Reg Leach 3rd Year Card
This one is an upgrade (condition) for my the Henry Boucha rc in my collection. Very cool sideburns!
1973-74 OPC Henry Boucha rookie card
I had one of these already but couldn't turn down two more for 50 cents at the Northgate Mall Card Show last month.
1984-85 OPC John Chabot rookie card x2
As I mentioned in a previous post, I had a number of people reach out to me regarding my rookie card collection. A man from the same community (Hazleton, BC) reached out to me to let me know that the following player was a member of the Gitxsan First Nation. Brandon had a short career in the NHL playing 33 games and also had 13 seasons in the AHL before going to the DEL for three more.
2000-01 SPx Brandon Smith (Gitxsan) /1500 rookie card
