Beyond the norm

Here's another friendly reminder that specialty pucks, such as these from the Ontario Hockey League and Hockey East, come in handy when building your collection.

San Jose's Jonathan Cheechoo signed the Belleville Bulls pucks while teammate Torrey Mitchell signed the University of Vermont puck.

Granted, they cost a little more ($5 or more) than most of the pucks I use, but the diversity they bring, as well as the inherent scarcity (I often hear the phrase "I don't see too many of these."), makes them well worth the added cost.
