NHL 14 PHOTOS AND NHL15 LINEUP ANNOUNCEMENT
For Hockey Fans: A Feast for the Senses
The NHL 14 lineup has been twisted, turned, flipped and is now completely finalized and ready for your approval. As mentioned in an online ToddCast, we're making a shift in the 2007 NHL Sports Picks lineups - making each lineup consist of four players rather than the traditional six. This is a GOOD thing for our NHL collectors, so bear with us as we explain.

One of the eagerly awaited products in the history of McFarlane Toys becomes available this month. We've been working on our hockey rink display for almost two years, and it's finally being made available through the McFarlane Toys Collector's Club on Dec. 4. The rink captures the area including both face-off circles and all the way back to the end boards behind the goal (including all boards and glass).
