2025 Adventures in Repacks - Part 14 - Back to Hockey

 The ol' reliable from Dollarama, a pair of repacks.

Top loaders for a future mailer, and a new themed repack are in the opener.

It is disappointing for my hockey knowledge to realize that Alexander Korolyuk has almost 300 games over 6 seasons worth of NHL experience, all with the Sharks, and I have absolutely zero memories of him. Staying with the Sharks, Bonino actually has a great example of how to make a generic skating photo interesting and intense.

No super-dull 2021 UD entries in the 2020 pack is enough to make me give a thumbs up. And there's a nice casual photo too for Cernak's card. Alternate jersey too!

The Captains/Assistants pack provided no Captains. Still, the contents were entirely assistants/alternates. So there were no lies involved. 

Fine repack with the Cernak and Bonino being highlights.

Here's what's in #2. Will there be a card worthy of the snap holder? Likely not, but I'm sure I'll find something to go inside it.

The rookie card was a definite surprise, with it being that Triple Diamond of Eric Gelinas. While he didn't have too lengthy of a career in the NHL, but I still appreciate a fairly SPd rookie card appearing in the product. Despite the Rookie label on the Amonte, that's a second year card. Artemi's got a nice photo for his.

Defunct team alert! Not just the Whalers, but also the short-lived OHL Detroit Compuware Ambassadors. The OHL's early journey into American teams lasted two seasons. 

Just some flagship stuff in the 2020s pack, but at least there's one big name with Malkin.

With Gelinas, a Whalers card and Malkin, the winner this time around was the second one.

There you have it!
