"O Canada, We Stand On Guard For Thee"

The first lines of the Canadian National Anthem perfectly describe the dedication of Canada's national hockey teams and for the first time a hockey card set is being created to showcase this. Perhaps, no other country in any other sport has achieved the consistent excellence that Canada has attained in international hockey. These will be a must have for many hockey card collectors.

Do you remember where you were when you heard these memorable calls?

"Henderson scores for Canada!" "From Gretzky to Lemieux... he scores!" "Toews wins it for Canada!"

Hockey history is full of moments like these. From 1972, through all the Canada Cups to the domination of the Canadian Women's team and World Junior teams, Canada has dominated its sport around the world.

And now, for the first time, In The Game celebrates this country's history in international hockey with the release of O Canada.

With 24 packs in every box, collectors will have plenty to search for – including an amazing 100-card base set.. Maybe you want to collect the future stars like Kyle Turris and John Tavares, or perhaps you are a Hayley Wickenheiser or Cassie Campbell fan or maybe you're interested in the gold medal-winning exploits of Martin Brodeur, you'll find it here in this highly-collectible base set.

The autograph cards, complete with their own design, will read like a 'who's who' of international hockey. They will even include some of Canada's greatest international foes like Dominik Hasek and Jari Kurri.

O Canada will really shine in the memorabilia card department with massive memorabilia pieces featured on Game-Used Jersey, Game-Used Emblem and Game-Used Number. These are extra large-sized pieces from real game-used jerseys used in the most famous international tournaments.

Some of Canada's greatest rivals will be featured in Formidable Foes and International Goalies. Both sets will feature memorabilia from rare jerseys that can't be found anywhere else. Dual Jerseys will pair two Canadian stars together with super jersey pieces from each. The great In The Game tradition of Complete Jersey also makes an appearance with an outstanding lineup of players including standouts like Carey Price and Sam Gagner.

As a special treat for collectors, In The Game introduces Emblem and Autograph – a huge emblem piece from a game-used Canada jersey set inside a die-cut emblem of a maple leaf. Together with the player's authentic autograph, these cards may be the most sought-after cards in all of O Canada.

Let's not forget the immensely popular He Shoots-He Scores program is also a big part of O Canada.

O Canada addresses the needs of the true collector. At a very affordable price point and with limited production, O Canada will sell out quickly.
