This very large set, released by Jurg Ochsner and sponsored by the Swiss Bank Society appears to include everyone who performed in the Swiss national hockey league in 1994-95. They were distributed in 6-card packs for 2 francs. The set is highlighted by marvelous color action photography, a subset of six NNO referee cards, and the inclusion of six NHLers who played in Switzerland during the NHL lockout including Doug Gilmour and Chris Chelios. Of interest is the usage of three languages (French, German and Italian) on the card fronts, which varies by the main language in the team's home locale. Note: the TR suffix in this case is the direct translation of coach (traineur). A collector's album also was available by mail. It is valued at $5.00. [Collapse]
