2023-24 Parkhurst Champions Hockey Details
2023-24 Parkhurst Champions Hockey has a definite retro vibe to it. Sometimes it’s resurrecting old designs while other times it’s making something new that strives to recreate a sense of days gone by. When it comes to players, the checklist goes in all directions with the usual vets, a dose of rookies and some big names from the past.
Among the expected contents of every hobby box is either an autograph or memorabilia card. The majority of packs include a standard insert or parallel.

Autographs and Other Inserts
The 2023-24 Parkhurst Champions Hockey checklist goes back to some of the earliest Parkhurst days with ’52 Retros. These draw their inspiration from 1952-53 Parkhurst Hockey as far as its minimalist design goes only with updated players. Standard versions are 1:8 packs with Gold Rainbow (1:40 packs) and Printing Plates (1/1) available as well as Autographs (1:360 packs, Rookies – 1:360 packs, Legends – 1:1,920 packs) and Red Autographs (/5).
Wire Images (1:34 packs) return, channeling the days of newspaper photos providing many people with the only shots they’d see from games. Gold (/349) and Printing Plates (1/1) make up the parallels with some cards also getting Autographs (/15).
The checklist has a couple of tough inserts. Legendary Captains (1:1,200 packs) highlight some of the best to ever where the ‘C’ on the front of their jersey. Original Six Retros take a tiered approach with common versions landing 1:480 packs and short prints 1:2,160.
New insert themes include Goal Driven (1:15 packs), Burnin’ Rubber (1:17 packs) and Daddy-O Flows (1:25 packs). These all have Gold (/349) and Printing Plates (1/1) versions as well as scarce Autographs.
For those looking for more tough signatures, there are Parkhurst Cuts, Parkhurst MEM-orable Autos (/10), Parkhurst MEM-orable Booklet Cuts and Parkhurst MEM-orable Booklet Rookie Autos (/25).
