TORONTO, /CNW/ – Tim Hortons is launching the first-ever Tim Hortons Legends Trading Cards set, featuring 180 of some of the best and most influential NHL Alumni and Team Canada Women’s hockey players to hit the ice, including Wayne Gretzky, Hayley Wickenheiser, Patrick Roy, Angela James and many more.
As part of Tims ongoing commitment to grow the game for women and young girls across Canada, the Tim Hortons Legends Trading Card set also features 25 women who played for Team Canada throughout the years. Among them is Angela James, who was also profiled in the Tim Hortons Let’s Up Our Game campaign sharing her triumphs and challenges as a Black female hockey player.
“I’m so proud to be a part of this collection of legendary hockey players that features Canadian women who have been spearheading change and creating opportunities to make hockey more accessible and inclusive for everyone,” says James, who was one of the first two women to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, along with being the first openly-gay player and the second Black player to be inducted into the Hall.
The Tim Hortons Legends Trading Cards collectable binder and the front of each pack of cards feature Wayne Gretzky, Hayley Wickenheiser and Patrick Roy. Hayley Wickenheiser and Ray Bourque also star in a TV commercial alongside Wayne Gretzky, in which they reflect on some of their most legendary moments on the ice.
“Being a part of the Tim Hortons Legends Trading Cards set has been a wonderful experience and a chance to re-live some of the biggest moments of my career,” says Wayne Gretzky. “It was great to work with Hayley and Ray and celebrate our accomplishments together.”
