Ice Hockey
Base set
The 1980–1981 Topps National Hockey League hockey set is basically identical to the first 264 cards of the 396 card 1980–1981 O-Pee-Chee set issued in Canada. Unlike the Canadian cards, the fronts contain a puck (black ink) at the bottom right which can be scratched-off to reveal the player’s name. Annual statistics including minor leagues, a brief biography and a cartoon style hockey fact are featured on the back. Members of the U.S.Olympic team are also included. Size: 2.5 × 3.5 inches, 6.35 × 8.89 centimeters
Team Posters
The 1980-81 team posters were issued as folded inserts in hockey packs. The 16 numbered posters are in full color with a white border on thin stock. The posters feature posed shots (on ice) of the entire 1979-80 hockey team. The name of the team is indicated in large letters to the left of the hockey puck, which contains the designation 1979-80 Season. Size: 5 × 7 in.

Famous quotes containing the word ice:
“Like the water, the Walden ice, seen near at hand, has a green tint, but at a distance is beautifully blue, and you can easily tell it from the white ice of the river, or the merely greenish ice of some ponds, a quarter of a mile off.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
