    My first instin :D ct was to say that he's sitting next to someone who wouldn't have his own rookie card until the next year....but I don't think that is it. Then I did some brain storming, and came up with it I think. Googled it, think I am right. I will PM you.

    the very first thing that popped into my head was the year 1866 being meaningful to the sport of hockey (combine the jersey numbers)

    i looked it up and that was the year a revolutionary ice skate was patented -- the Acme Spring Skate

    it helped popularize ice hockey all over the world

    OP confirmed l, via PM, that I figured it out. It's not everyday that I do that. I'm marking this day on my calendar. Not sure what to label it though.

    I was at show in the early mid 90's and these little kids said, "hey dad can we go look for some Mario La-Mex"
    yeah I thought that was kind of cool how they said that... :)
