Hockey Card of the Day #39

Jim Kyte, Las Vegas Thunder, 94-95 Classic Enforcers, IHL, goon, hockey, hockey card, hockey fight, meathead#E9 - Jim Kyte
94-95 Classic Enforcers of Hockey

I guess these budget brands did have a good idea every once in a while. Since NHL cards aren't allowed to show fighting, Classic made a ten card set of AHL and IHL'ers beating this shit out of each other (or at the very least staring each other down).

John Badduke, Hamilton Canucks, 94-95 Classic Enforcers, AHL, goon, hockey, hockey cardApparently this career minor-league goon is a hero in Syracuse where he has a banner with his name and number in the War Memorial at Oncenter, the home of the AHL Crunch.

I wish they would show fighting on NHL cards, let's face it the goon is part of the game...

Neil Wilkinson's 90-91 Upper Deck card has a picture of him fighting on the back. I was going to scan it, but I couldn't find it. The only other NHL card that I know has fighting on it is Dan Marouelli's 90-91 Pro-Set card... but ref cards hardly count.

This old card from the 1973-74 set also shows fighting:

In The Game last season released ONE copy of the Osgood/Roy brawl in a painted version. Their support then stated to me that if was becouse of some law, so it's ok to make one copy but no more? Great, i think they lied to me.

Some budget brand needs to step up and release a new set of minor-leaguers fighting. I know ITG put out some sort of goon set, but it was ugly and didn't show any fighting at all.

The one with the Canucks farm team dude is interesting by the lack of assistance in the crowd...
