IN THE NEWS
NHL SERIES 8 TOYS SKATE NORTH OF THE BORDER IN APRIL
Latest 'Canada-direct' line features seven players, sold in Spawn Store
McFarlane Toys is dropping the puck on our lineup for NHL 8. Following on the heels of NHL 5, the series 8 lineup will be our second hockey line developed exclusively for mass retail in Canada. The demand for hockey product up North is strong enough to support a line released "out-of-season," and so our second "Canada-direct" line was created with specific appeal to the Canuck faithful.
