For rookie cards...?

Question

On the back, under stats, does it say "no NHL experience" or "1 NHL season"?

Answer 1

It can be either.  Top prospects often get featured billing in sets before they've played a single game.  Lower draft picks may not have a card for several years, and those first cards will usually show any NHL experience they've had.

Answer 2

I used to collect cards in the 80's and 90's. You just need to look at the rules to qualify for the calder...at that time a player was still a rookie if they played fewer than 25 games with their NHL club the previous year or 26 the previous two years as well as being under 26 by mid-september I think. That was a adjustment to the rule because Makarov won the Calder at age 31. Not sure if it is still done like that.

Answer 3

When your dealing with hockey cards, newer ones will not show NHL stats unless it plain says on the card Rookie Card.

When it comes to cards, a player is a rookie even if he's only played a preseason game, therefore he now has a rookie card. so usually it will have no NHL experience, or give their junior stats.

now on older cards it can be a little different.

i know Roenick's card wasn't made until his third year in the league.
