6 of 10 Medicine Hat Tigers Team Sets These are from my personal collection and I do not expect to offer more once sold. I wanted to hold these Team Sets till next year when he wins the Calder Trophy. For protection and long-term preservation, all Gavin McKenna cards have been carefully removed from their respective team sets and placed individually into penny sleeves and top loaders. The remaining team set cards are included with each corresponding set. Please review all photos carefully and judge condition for yourself, as centering, corners, edges, and surface quality can vary from card to card. These team-issued releases have become some of the most sought-after junior hockey products in the hobby due to McKenna’s meteoritic rise. Many collectors consider his 2023-24 Medicine Hat Tigers card to be his premier team-issued rookie/XRC and one of the most important cards from his pre-NHL career. Unlike mass-produced NHL releases, WHL team-issued sets are distributed primarily through the club and local market, resulting in significantly shorter print run and lower availability than mainstream licensed products. The 2023-24 Medicine Hat Tigers Team Set has become one of the most desirable junior hockey releases in the hobby due to Gavin McKenna’s emergence as Toronto Maple Leafs first overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.

Ruck scored 45 goals in the regular season and added 8 more in the playoffs, helping lead Medicine Hat on another deep postseason run. Known for his powerful shot, net-front presence, and natural scoring instincts, Ruck consistently found ways to generate offense and establish himself as one of the WHL’s premier finishers. His breakout season significantly elevated his NHL Draft stock, with many scouts projecting him as a potential first-round selection in the 2026 NHL Draft. Collectors looking back on the 2023-24 Medicine Hat Tigers roster will recognize Liam Ruck as one of the key players who developed into a major NHL prospect and one of the WHL’s most dangerous goal scorers.
