Topps left the NHL licensed card business in 2004. In 2017 they jumped back in with their Topps NHL SKATE digital trading card app. In 2019 Topps took things a step further acquiring a license to produce NHL stickers.
Leading up to the 2020 NHL All-Star Game in St. Louis, hockey fans enjoyed the events at the NHL Fan Fair. One of the biggest moments took place at the Topps booth when St. Louis Blues legend, and 2009 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Brett Hull arrived. Topps printed stickers which resemble Brett Hull’s 1988-89 Topps #66 rookie card. Fans were quite eager to snatch the stickers up, and have him sign them.
They might not be “cards”, but these stickers look darn good. Topps is as close as possible to making NHL licensed cards as they can get. Upper Deck currently has an exclusive NHL license to make cards.

These are very cool! I wish the NHL would allow Topps (and Panini) to produce licensed trading cards again. Upper Deck has gone stale IMO.
That’s quite a nice surprise! Good job by Topps to acquire a license to produce stickers.
