Pinnacle Brands made some unfortunate design choices this year. The huge gold thing on the front of the card is ugly and really gets in the way of the picture on some of the cards. The backs are equally hideous. Out of all the hockey cards I own, these currently rank as the most ugly.

This 540-card standard-size set was issued in two series of 270 cards. Cards were distributed in 14-card U.S. and Canadian packs, and 17-card jumbo packs. Series 1 packs had exclusive Canadian and U.S. inserts, series 2 did not. Members of the St. Louis Blues and Calgary Flames are posed in front of a locker which displays their newly designed sweaters. Rookie Cards include Mariusz Czerkawski, Eric Daze, Eric Fichaud, Ed Jovanovski, Jeff O'Neill and Wade Redden. A one-per-case (360 packs) insert card was produced for Canadian, and U.S. series 1 packs. Pavel Bure is numbered MVPC, while Dominik Hasek is MVPU. Both cards have MVP printed at top front and utilize a silver Dufex design. The backs feature dual photos over a silver reflective background.
