What is the first pack or box of hockey cards that you can remember opening? For some this might be harder than others to answer so that's why I ask what one you have the first memory of opening.

The first pack of cards I can remember opening is I believe 92-93 Fleer Ultra. The first box of cards I can remember opening though is 95-96 Topps, which was probably one of the most exciting things ever. I remember pulling a Marquee Men Power Boosters of Ed Belfour. I thought it was the greatest thing because it was so shiny LOL.

The first pack I remember buying for myself would have been 01-02 Pacific from 7/11 and pulling a Zhamnov Jersey. Im pretty sure my dad used to buy me packs of McDonald's too. The first box I ever opened was also a gift from my dad, which was a box of 01-02 Titanium Draft Edition he won from our local rotary auction. It was pretty awesome seeing as I pulled the Kovalchuk Trifecta: Jersey, RC and Auto RC. Needless to say that pretty much got me hooked at the time

I don't remember my first pack specifically. My dad had some proset sets (who didn't in the 90's) and those were my first cards I guess. My first major pull actually came from a video game. NHL 2002 came out with a promo where you got a card. I pulled a Mario Lemieux Gold Variation. When I was younger I just assumed everyone got the same card, and I threw it in a shoebox. Several years later I realized that it was actually very rare, and several collectors asked me for it for their PC's, i still have the card though. My first box was 2001-02 Pacific. Had a case hit with a Nabokov auto, I nearly wet my pants with excitement lol I miss those days

Late 80's OPC, probably 87-88 or 88-89 would have been the earliest that I really recall.

25 box's of 1976/77 OPC.

i remember opening 90-91 score by the box, it was so much better than proset

I remember opening packs of 1971-72 O Pee Chee Hockey, I also remember opening a box of 1971 or 1972 O Pee Chee CFL football with my older brother.
