Dale Hawerchuk & Thomas Steen Rookie Cards
The 1982–83 O-Pee-Chee hockey set was produced by the London, Ontario-based manufacturer under license from Topps, serving as the definitive primary card set for the Canadian market. Card #380 depicts center Dale Hawerchuk following his Calder Memorial Trophy-winning 1981–82 campaign, while card #391 features Swedish forward Thomas Steen following his arrival in North America. Printed on standard gray cardstock with dynamic color borders and bilingual statistics on the back, these two cards represent the official base rookie issues for the foundational duo of the original Winnipeg Jets National Hockey League era.
On the ice, Hawerchuk and Steen formed the central offensive pillar for the Winnipeg franchise throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. Drafted first overall in 1981, Hawerchuk became the immediate face of the franchise, while Steen arrived in 1981 after being selected in the fifth round of the 1979 NHL Entry Draft. Playing alongside each other across nine seasons, the pair anchored Winnipeg's top forward units, leading the franchise to consistent playoff qualifications in the competitive Smythe Division. Steen's playmaking ability complemented Hawerchuk's high-scoring output, establishing a long-term partnership that defined the team's identity at the Winnipeg Arena.
Within sports memorabilia archives, this paired pair of rookie cards holds specific significance as the physical documentation of Winnipeg's most enduring athletic partnership. Hawerchuk and Steen are two of only four players in the history of the original franchise to have their numbers retired by the club. Steen played his entire 14-season, 950-game NHL career in Winnipeg, making these 1982 O-Pee-Chee issues important historical artifacts capturing the exact turning point when the franchise built its primary core for the 1980s.
