Tis the Season for Unannounced 2016-17 Parkhurst Hockey Inserts
By Stephen Laroche | Beckett Hockey Editor
Hockey card collectors breaking open packs and blaster boxes of 2016-17 Parkhurst Hockey may have come across a special holiday-themed insert as unannounced Tis The Season cards have recently surfaced.
Release in mid-December, the timing for these inserts was perfect and three different players have been discovered so far online. Typically, when Upper Deck puts an unannounced insert set into a product, they do not provide a checklist right away in the hopes that collectors will organically discover the cards and determine which players were included.
An exclusive to Walmart stores on both sides of the border, 2016-17 Parkhurst has a large 400-card base set and is available in retail and fat packs along with blaster boxes. Initially, it was touted as a Canadian exclusive, but it is available in the United States as well.

I have TS12 Alex Ovechkin.
Since this went up, copies of Patrice Bergeron and Mike Bossy have gone up and sold. I also hit a second one of these, Alex Ovechkin. So far, there have not been second copies of any card that I’ve seen surface.
there is also an ovechkin on beckett forums
I found a Patrick Roy Tis The Season at Walmart Sault Ste Marie Ont.
I pulled an Ovechkin as well. Anyone know what the odds of pulling these are?
Carey Price – TS1
Medicine Hat, Alberta
The Patrick Roy # is TS 15 I have now found a Wayne Gretzky card # TS 18
I pulled a Doug Gilmour as TS 16. I haven’t seen a Mike Bossy, so that’s kinda strange if they’re numbered the same.
I need this Roy insert!
TS-9 is drew doughty

I found a Doug Gilmour Tis The Season card # TS 16
