Question about hockey cards

[dogzman]

I was wondering if they make hockey cards for other countries? I know some companies make french for Canada, but what about others? I remeber in the early 90's there was Czech. Just curious, maybe someone more up on this stuff can chime in.

In Sweden we have cards for the Swedish Elite League, which is the highest level league in Sweden. I think there's cards for the second level league as well.

Do you have a picture of one? I never seen one. Being a die hard Red Wings fan we have our share of Swedish players.

i believe they have a Swedish version of Victory and the card backs are written in Swedish and its only swedish players in the set.

There's a 2009-10 Swedish Upper Deck Victory with swedish backs, but it's not just Swedish players. There's a checklist in the inventory :)

Pretty cool. Weird seeing Zetty in that uniform.

To go with the Swedish victory set it was also released with a Finnish version. Managed to pick both up of Ovechkin. Russia also produces some cards as I've picked up Ovechkin cards along the way however, its always had to tell if they are from an actually set or someone just prints them up. Those are the only 3 countries I can think of, besides this years UD series 1 being released in French. Hope this helps.
