The 1982-83 O-Pee-Chee Dating Game (Episode 14)



Welcome back to The 1982-83 O-Pee-Chee Dating Game, where we'll randomly select three eligible bachelors from the set and you, the reader, will choose which one wins that date with a special lady. How do we know they're bachelors? Why, it says so right on the back of their hockey cards, that's how!

Previous episodes are available here.

The big winner of episode 13 was Kevin Lowe.

Now, let's start the 14th round and introduce the bachelors chosen by the randomizer! [APPLAUSE]

Bachelor number 1: Defenseman from the Calgary Flames, Paul Reinhart
Bachelor number 2: Defenseman from the Edmonton Oilers, Paul Coffey
Bachelor number 3: Center from the Quebec Nordiques, Pierre Aubry




Folks, we've got a Battle of Alberta with a Quebecios tagging along!

Let's find out more about these gents from the back of their cards.









Alright studio audience, who's earned this week's date with a lovely lady?

Bachelor number 1: Paul Reinhart, horseback rider. (Calgary fans must love him for that.)

Bachelor number 2: Paul Coffey, golfer and fastest defenseman in the West.

Bachelor number 3: Pierre Aubry, the Quebec native who's so happy to have started his NHL career in his homeland that he forgot to list a hobby.

  1. Always loved that second year Coffey card, an '80s classic in my mind.

    1. Agreed. O-Pee-Chee matched the card's colors with Edmonton's colors very well in this set, which adds to the classic look.

    1. Score a vote for Mr. Reinhart. Thanks for playing, Brett!

  3. Reinhart's in the right place for riding horses (I doubt that he'd have much chance in Atlanta) he gets my vote.

    1. Another one for Reinhart. (And you're right -- good thing the franchise moved to Calgary.)

  4. Reinhardt for the win with horseback riding and the mustache!

    Got your two packs of hockey in the mail. Thanks! Excited to open them!

    1. Reinhart, his mustache, and his horse are running away with this one!

  5. If I'm a single female looking for love, I'm going with Reinhart for the horse back riding and the 'stache (as Brett pointed out). As a single male looking for an autograph, I'll go with Coffey.

    1. And yet another vote for Reinhart! (Insert "galloping" or "stampeding" pun here.)

  6. Flamin' hot 'stache doesn't win my heart this round. I'm a single female looking for refill on my Coffey!

    1. There's got to be a t-shirt idea somewhere in your comment, Julie. While I figure that out, it's another vote for Paul Coffey!
