Down with IPP: day 3: TK, eh?

Previously:  day 1, day 2

I'm back with more cool TK Legacy Michigan stuff from my in-person purchase, and this time we're talkin' hockey, specifically four cards highlighting three Michigan legends.  The late 90s were kind to Michigan hockey as we picked up national championships in 1996 and 1998.  Coached by the incomparable Red Berenson, a Wolverine alum, Michigan enjoyed the play of one of college hockey's greatest ever goalies, Marty Turco, who backstopped the team to both titles, plus 1997 Hobey Baker-winner Brendan Morrison in '96.  All three have gone on to experience success in one way or another, and all are important components of my Hockey PC.

So, on with the new cards!

Marty Turco 2004 TK Legacy 1996 National Champions auto 
Marty Turco 2004 TK Legacy Varsity Club auto 
Red Berenson 2004 TK Legacy 1996 National Champions auto

Some (minor) milestones:
  • 680 Michigan PC hits
  • 35 hockey hits
  • Five Morrison hits
  • Five Turco autos (out of seven hits)
Until next time, remember that if you're hearing about hockey news, it's pretty likely that one or more Michigan alumni are involved.  GO BLUE!
