Hi Guys, my name is Chris and I live in Ottawa, Ontario. Card collecting was always a hobby of mine when I was younger, however I haven't done any real collecting in almost 20 years. Recently my 7 year old son has shown an interest in hockey cards and now I am excitedly re-living my youth through him. We started with the 2015-16 UD MVP set, which we currently have 1-100 completed, and we are frantically trying to complete the base set for the Tim Horton's UD set. I'm not too concerned with all the special inserts for now, mostly because I can't afford them and also because I just want to teach him the joys of working towards completing a full set.

Anyway, I look forward to checking the forum out and seeing if I can help my little guy understand why I loved collecting cards so much. Oh, and we both love the Montreal Canadiens and my son's favourite player is Max Pacioretty. We haven't started collecting a single player yet but that's who he would be after if he was.

Thanks!
