I'd just grab a pack off the shelf and hope for the best to be honest. I have only really ever gotten into trading cards that have games associated with them in the past, so maybe if there was some sort of game attached I'd be a bit more focused.
i would hope to get at least one of gooneys many players because he is my friend! Jason Desrouleaux and it's many typo variations should all be individual cards for funsies. The Stringray That Killed Steve Irwin would also be a fun find.
I'd love to have the Edmonton Blizzard Rookie pack
We can almost make it work

Goalie was tricky, but I think we can convince Dara to make a position switch. Anyone heard from them?
G:Dara McQuick
This would be fun if I had been around a while and knew more of the players, but for now, I'd love a pack of Carolina Kraken cards containing all the players I've had the pleasure of spending the past three seasons with.
I don't really know much about players in the SHL but when I open sports cards, the one sort of cards I love to get are Signature cards, so I'd want a lineup full of them!
Obviously I'd love to have my own card in there somewhere. But if I just chose players that I looked up to in the early days it would likely look something like this...
Mike Izzy - Tony Pepperoni - Ola Wagstrom
Jack Tanner - Cassius Darrow
Kata Vilde
All HOF cards, because I presume all of them will make a case for a place in there. Especially the forwards.
If I had to make a dream team of SHL players, it would be pretty easy. Starting at all 3 Forward Positions, it would have to be Strawberry Sailfish, and for the defenders also Strawberry Sailfish, and finally for the goalie, Strawberry Sailfish.
I’d want to collect cards a few cards from the S35 draft & a few randoms. The list would include Sophia Bennett, Louie Garrett, Robert Phelps, Finn Kruger & Mike Izzy. If I had to pick a goalie it would be Biscuit. After that I’d just grab a bunch of HoF players.
The dream team is really only two players: FR Finn-Rhys (represented as a moose) and Julio Tokolosh (the greatest bovine the league has ever seen). If we ungulates can't dominate the SHL than no one can.
