2009-10 ITG Heroes and Prospects - Class of 2010

The release In The Game's 2009-10 Heroes and Prospects is less than three weeks away. The company is pleased to announce preliminary details about a redemption program that has been added this season to make them even more fun to collect.



The Class of 2010 non-memorabilia insert cards will have a special redemption feature that could allow collectors to obtain a special limited game-used memorabilia card. Each Class of 2010 card will feature a foil-stamped number on the back that is between 1 and 30. If the player depicted on the front of the card is drafted at the position noted on the back, collectors can redeem their insert card for a game-used memorabilia card that is limited to only 10 copies!

"While it is rare for In The Game to do a redemption of any kind, we felt that the Class of 2010 cards were more of a new product feature that makes Heroes and Prospects more interactive for collectors," said In The Game's President, Dr. Brian Price. "We think that collectors are going to enjoy looking at the cards they have during the 2010 NHL Draft to see if they are lucky enough to exchange their card for something special."

Included in the Class of 2010 collection are two players that are considered to be neck-in-neck for the first overall position - Taylor Hall of the Windsor Spitfires and Tyler Seguin of the Plymouth Whalers.



All but one of the players, Vladimir Tarasenko, are already named to the roster for the 2010 Home Hardware CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game. Once again, Team Orr will face Team Cherry and the players will have an opportunity to make a big impression on the pro scouts in attendance.
