The design seems to be a mash-up of a few sets released earlier in the decade. It must have been one hell of a game, because he went onto another team for the ’85-86 season. Goaltender Ben Duffy has a card, even though he only played one game in ’84-85. From what I can tell, every player from the ’85-86 UMD team are included, with the exception of Wayne Smith, who played 11 games that season. Thirty-two player cards are in this set, plus four cards of coaches, mascots and cheerleaders.
Brett was a top player in his two seasons with UMD, and is the main reason why this set – despite being 25 years old – is not too difficult to find. The WCHA Champions the prior year, the team had another reason for being a popular draw – their captain was Brett Hull, son of the legendary Bobby Hull. During the 1985-86 season, a company called Tim & Larry’s Sports Cards in Duluth, MN released a 36 card set of the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs hockey team.
