Remember in the mid-90’s when there were so many choices to make when buying hockey cards. Then in the mid-2000′s, the market was dominated by Upper Deck for fve years. Well now, the new products keep rolling out in 2010-11. Donruss Hockey has been in limbo for about 15 years but it’s now re-emerging with some interesting twists.

Donruss always provided a nice mid-range product with a crisp design. For the first time since the 1997-98 season, it has returned to the hockey card market, including its throwback Donruss logo. Each box of 2010-11 Donruss Hockey should contain:

• 2 memorabilia or autograph cards
• 6 Rated Rookies
• 3 Boys of Winter
• 2 Ultimate Draft
• 1 Press Proof
• 1 Les Gardiens
• 1 Tough Times
• 1 Fans of the Game

Returning with the Donruss name are longtime inserts like Rated Rookies, Press Proof parallels, Les Gardiens, Elite, and Ice Kings inserts. For those who like to mix it up, Donruss has included Tough Times inserts which honour the most memorable enforcers of the 1980s and Line of the Times memorabilia cards.

The Fans of the Game autograph lineup currently includes celebrity hockey fans such as Pamela Anderson, actor Michael Ontkean, and folk singer Stompin’ Tom Connors who is known for the song, ‘The Hockey Song’ aka ‘The Good Ole Hockey Game.’

2010-11 Donruss Hockey from Panini is currently available for sale at Canada Card World.
