The game will take place at 3 p.m., prior to the Islanders preseason game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, Sept. 17. Originally scheduled to take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, this game will now be at NYCB Live, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

  • O-Pee-Chee 1989
    1989-90 OPC Set of 270 1989-90 O-Pee-Chee Set of 270 (loose stickers) 4 Key Rookie (RC) Stickers Joe Sakic, Tony Granato, Trevor Linden and Craig Janney. Sticker History This was the third O-Pee-Chee sticker series where the sticker backs were printed on more glossy cardboard stock than the thinner paper backings of the previous 8-9 years. There are 182 physical stickers where 88 of those are paired up with another sticker from the set. For the third year in a row, the traditional sticker package that had to be “ripped” open from their vacuum package, was replaced by wax type packs that were only previously used to encase hockey cards. The stickers from this year are by far the easiest to find of the 9 years that O-Pee-Chee produced stickers and are still readily available. The sticker album, in contrast, is the hardest to find of the 9 years of O-Pee-Chee stickers. This was the first year that Wayne Gretzky appears in an L.A.Kings uniform. The sticker album featuring Lanny McDonald is by far the hardest album to find in MINT unused condition in the O-Pee-Chee Hockey sticker line. O- Pee-Chee distributed these stickers out of London, Ontario in Canada. Sticker Facts The size of each full sticker is 5.4 cm X 7.6 cm (2.13 in X 3 in). There were 48 packages in each wax box which originally retailed for $0.35 per pack. Each package contained 6 stickers. The minimum number of packages needed to make a full set (assuming absolutely no doubles) is 31.
