World Junior Championships Alumni Set


I recently got my hands on a 15 cards set from 1994-95 called World Junior Championships Alumni Set. Since I couldn't find a lot of information on it on the Internet, I thought I'd give some here.

First of all, the set was only sold in the Canadian province of Alberta in Esso gas stations between December 20, 1994 and January 4, 1995. That year, the WJC were held in Red Deer in Alberta. Basically, these sets were sold during the tournament time frame. They came complete for 2.99 $ with a purchase of gas. The proceeds were sent to minor hockey.

The design is reminiscent of the one used for the WJC cards in the 1993-94 Upped Deck set, specially for the fonts used.

#2. Manny Legacé



#5. Paul Kariya

This is the best card in the set. Paul Kariya announced his retirement this week. He ends his career with 989 points in 989 NHL Reg. Season games.

#12. Scott Niedermayer

And here is an example of the back of the cards.


I uploaded the pictures of every card at this address, should you want to see all 15 cards.
