1970-71 Topps Hockey Cards
Product Details
After several years of unique or modified designs taken from other company products, 1970-71 Topps Hockey went with what appeared to be an altered design of its set from the previous year. The graphic hockey stick disappeared and a series of five lights has filled the background.
Fronts feature a player image that is superimposed in front of a background that is colored by team. That background includes five "lights," one near each corner and one in the center. The player's name, team and position appear in the white area beneath the player that also includes the border around the card. Backs are green and black and divided into two parts. On the left is a black box with the player's name, team, position and vitals. Below that is an artist-rendered action shot that includes a card number inside a puck. The box on the right has year/life statistics and a biography.
1970-71 Topps Hockey has cards from all of the NHL's teams, including the expansion Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks. Most players are grouped within their own teams, but a few have been updated to reflect off-season trades. The set's final card is a checklist.
Notable rookies in 1970-71 Topps Hockey include Gilbert Perreault, Brad Park and Wayne Cashman.
