“ Great card! I love that the world of hockey is fully represented on cards....not just the top level (and only half of that) in the NBA like I'm used to. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ About as basic as it comes, but not all that bad. ” -muskie027

“ Two words: THE BUS! ” -hafengr

“ I like minor hockey league cards, this being no exception. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ The ProCards minor league hockey sets are always fun to look at because you can find cards of people who went on to become well known coaches or GMs. Not the case here, but still a great looking effort. The old Hershey Bears logo on the back of the card is one of my favorites, looks like a big skating Teddy Bear. ” -Gunny

“ "Forget the lights...let's just get this shoot over with." Tookey was an absolute scoring legend in the AHL. ” -wjhipwell

“ Nice ProCards Hockey? I don't think I had seen any of these before. Nice. ” -captkirk42

“ I like it ” -switzr1

“ Minor league superstar Tim Tookey. Got a few chances at the NHL level with a few different franchises but was never able to stick. Never got a NHL card. ” -Blargh

TOOOOOK! (Not sure if the crowd would do that cheer whenever he scored a goal, but you'd have to imagine they did.) ------------------------------- Check out my 8-bit sports art: redbubble

Absolutely LOVED Tim Tookey. Saw him play as a kid with the AHL Baltimore Skipjacks in the early 80's when Baltimore was affiliated with the Penguins. And as Thick McRunfast suggest, the fans didn't quite do a "TOOOOK" chant, but the arena announce would announce the goal scorer as "Tiiiiiiiiim Tooooooooooooooooooooooooookey". Loved watching the Skipjacks. Lots of 90's Stanley Cup Penguins players that were memorable to me as Skipjacks. Bob Errey, Troy Loney, Phil Bourque, not to mention the Gary Risling's, Bennett Wolf's of the world!

Had no idea Hershey was as a Philly affiliate at one point.
