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:
“A young person is a person with nothing to learn
One who already knows that ice does not chill and fire does not burn . . .
It knows it can spend six hours in the sun on its first
day at the beach without ending up a skinless beet,
And it knows it can walk barefoot through the barn
without running a nail in its feet. . . .
Meanwhile psychologists grow rich
Writing that the young are ones’ should not
undermine the self-confidence of which.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
