NATIONAL HOCKEY CARD DAY IS THIS SATURDAY FEBRUARY 15th

National Hockey Card Day Celebrates Century Old Hobby

Saturday February 15th in Barrie

According to a recent study, the sports collectibles market is worth $5.4 Billion annually. Hockey card trading is a big part of that market, and many Canadians from young to young at heart count themselves as collectors. Hockey trading cards in Canada can be traced back to 1910 and the start of the National Hockey League

This Saturday, we celebrate this fun hobby with NATIONAL HOCKEY CARD DAY,

All hockey card collectors are fans of the game of hockey, but not all hockey fans have experienced the joys of hockey card collecting. This special day looks to change that!

NATIONAL HOCKEY CARD DAY is an opportunity to showcase the hobby via local retailer events, giveaways, and prizes.

In Simcoe County, Barrie's own DOUG LAURIE SPORTS will hold a one day show and event at the Kozlov Centre in recognition of NATIONAL HOCKEY CARD DAY. Attendees can browse literally hundreds of thousands of hockey cards from select vendors and traders, and make a deal to BUY, SELL, or TRADE.

In addition, every person who attends will receive a free pack of Upper Deck NHCD cards featuring Canada’s hottest rookies and stars and legends from the NHL! A purchase of $10 of Upper Deck products will also net collectors a rookie card of Vancouver phenom Quinn Hughes.

The fun of the hobby is amplified when you meet-up and swap stories - and cards - with fellow hobbyists. There will be plenty of those people on hand this Saturday! Wayne Frazer, owner of DOUG LAURIE SPORTS, says about the day: "National Hockey Card Day is a chance for serious collectors and those folks who are curious about the hobby to come out, learn from others, and just have some fun!"

Activities on Saturday include giveaways, prize draws, and vendor displays. Start time is 930am on Saturday February 15th and the event goes until at least 4pm.
