What's this?

A pack of hockey cards? Here on a hockey internet forum?

... Let me explain.

I miss hockey cards so much! They remind me of my childhood, collecting books and books of cards, sorting them by team and alphabetically by player name and numerically by jersey number and historically by jersey design and whole bunch of things.

I used to have a ton of fun on my computer "designing" hockey cards, usually in MS Paint. Aaaand... they weren't great. But I had a ton of fun writing blurbs on the back and putting in all the stats and picking cool photos. I had a heck of a time. I'm out of town right now but when I get back, I'll take a look to see if I can find any of my old (terrible) creations. Seriously, I printed them and cut them out and everything.

These days, I like to think I'm a bit of a better designer than I used to be. So... I'm introducing Calgarypuck 2019-20 Series 1, our site's own set of Calgary Flames hockey cards. I designed a series of dozens of hockey cards and each day, I'll post a new one here, totally at random. It'll be like opening a new pack, every day.

These "cards" were are all rendered actual size, 2.5" x 3.5". I hope you all like them. It's been a fun way to pass time in social distancing quarantine, at the very least.

Card #1: Zac Rinaldo
