#195 - Ales Hemsky

 

Ales Hemsky had a disappointing start to the 2011-12 NHL season, missing the first part of the year due to injury. High points for Hemsky during the season would be scoring his first career hat trick against the Nashville Predators and signing a two year, $10 million extension with the Oilers.

 

From what I can gather it appears that Hemsky is showing off his league known offensive creativity and gifted puck skills on this card, weaving between two Maple Leafs.

#1 - Season Highlight, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins opens up the set with a obligatory draft day photo op. It appears that this has been the only release where Nugent-Hopkins leads off the set.

Nugent-Hopkins was selected first overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. This would be the second straight year that the Oilers would pick first at the draft, choosing Taylor Hall the previous year.
