by Billy Kingsley - 67 cards (Last updated on Jan 10, 2022)

After letting my records lapse for the last two years, I have caught up and can track the new NHL players added to my collection in 2021. I start with a big infusion of history thanks to my buying boxes of the two American versions of the 2004-05 In The Game Franchises set...
