Ekman-Larsson

Hockey Card & Memorabilia Collection

...and so much more!

My name is Colin and I am now 14 years old. I live just outside of Toronto, Canada and my favorite hockey player is Oliver Ekman-Larsson. People have asked me, "Why Ekman-Larsson?". Well, when I was 6 years old and was just starting to get into hockey, my favorite team was the Arizona Coyotes. I loved the howling Coyote head on the Jersey. When it came to picking my favorite player, my Dad said OEL was the best player on the team. My Great Grandmother was born in Sweden, the same country OEL was born in.

With the help of my Dad, we made this website to show off my OEL hockey card collection and it also helps my Dad figure out which OEL cards I already have. I have now started adding other things OEL releated because I am not finding as many cards since I have so many. I am always on the look out for any OEL cards I don't have so if you have something I might need, please send me an e-mail. Thanks for looking and I hope you like my site!

OEL Physical Card Count:

(Total including Digital Cards and Stickers = 1,192)

Swede Win!

February 17th 2026

Team Sweden is going to face Team USA in the quarter finals. I know they are not favoured to win but fingers crossed that they can pull of an upset. A couple photos from todays game against Latvia. Glad to see OEL getting some decent ice time. Great job OEL and keep going!

Number 3

February 14th 2026

Grabbed some pictures of OEL in his Team Sweden gear. I noticed that OEL is wearing #3 for the Olympics which is the same number he had before playing in the NHL. He wore #3 playing for Leksands IF in the Swedish Hockey League. Best of Luck OEL!

Goal Pucks

January 28th 2026

A nice surprise came in the mail for me today. Not one, but two Ekman-Larsson Goal pucks from this season. The first one is OEL's 5th Goal of the season scored against the Edmonton Oilers pn December 13th. This goal was assisted by Matthew Knies and Max Domi. It was scored against Tristen Jarry's first game as an Edmonton Oiler at 4:54 of the second period.

The second puck was OEL's 6th Goal of the season scored against the Chicago Blackhawks on December 16th. This goal was assisted by Auston Matthews and William Nylander. It was scored against Spencer Knight at 9:59 of the third period in a comeback win by the Leafs.

Very Happy to have both of these pucks in my collection. More information and photos of the puck can be found in the Games Used Pucks section of my website.

This is a funny story about this card. It was only a couple of weeks ago that my Dad discovered that there was a "Red Back" version of this card and the regular OEL card (which I now need). I know its just red printing on the back but it is a version I don't have so, I needed to add it to my collection. The front of the card is the same as the regular black back but funny that I didnt realize I needed this card.

Leafs Blueprint

January 24th 2026

I was pleasently surprised to see that the latest episode of Leafs - Blueprint featured OEL in Episode 7 titled "Defensive Measures". It was perfect timing with OEL on a hot streak but than again, he has been great all season long but now others can see what I already know. It was nice seeing OEL mic'ed up and interacting with his teamates. Great episode worth watching.

Olympic Bound!

January 2nd 2026

I am so excited to see that OEL will be playing in the Olympics for Team Sweden. I am of course biased so I already felt that he deserved a spot but over the last couple days, I have had my fingers crossed that he would make it. Very well deserved. Conradulations Oliver!!!

Not a card but a new sticker came in this week. I don't usually post stickers but this is an official Topps sticker. Panini used to make the stickers and I do have all of them in my collection. Just like hockey cards, they are now coming in Parallel versions. I have the regular sticker but I do have the Blue Foil limited to 100 and I just got this Red Foil that is only limited to 10. There is a 1 of 1 that I probably will never find but who knows. I have also picture the Blue Foil here as well.

Coyotes Ticket

December 13th 2025

My Dad was going through a bunch of his old ticket stubs and he found the ticket to the game he went to in 2017 against the Islanders. My Dad has been working on a project for many years which is to visit every NHL teams Home Arena. He only has one more to go which is the Carolina Hurricanes. He didn't even realize that OEL was on his ticket until today. Well, it's now going into my OEL display case.

December 12th 2025

One of those cards that was in plain sight but my Dad and I never noticed. My Dad saw this one on eBay but we are not sure how long it has been there. It's an ultra rare Blank Back version of a O-Pee-Chee Retro variation. Only a hand full are ever put in packs so they are super hard to find. Thankfully we were able to get it and its now in my collection.

The Belt!

December 5th 2025

It was reall nice seeing OEL getting the Belt last night. I thouight there were a couple times that he was deserving of it but its nice to get recognized for his work on the ice even if it dosent result in points on the scoresheet. Great Job OEL and Congrats.

OEL Off the Ice

November 30th 2025

One thing I enjoy about the Maple Leafs is their Social Media Team and the photos they take when the players are not on the ice. I usually check daily for pictures of all the Leafs and it's always a highlight when they feature OEL. I already know that OEL is into fasion so he always looks good off the ice. I also enjoy some of the other odd photos like working out in the gym and customizing his equipment.

November 26th 2025

Was really excited to get this card today. It is a really thick card and it has a piece of memorabillia that I have never gotten in a card before which is a piece of OEL's Skate! The card is only limited to 15 and I love the fact that he is wearing a Maple Leafs Jersey. The picture does not do it justice. It's a pretty heavy weighted card as well. An excellent addition to my collection.

Tack OEL!

October 24th 2025

So my Dad and I went down to Buffalo to see the Leafs take on the Sabres since it's much cheaper than tickets in Toronto. The only complaint is the 2 hour drive but its not too bad. I am so glad that we went because it was a very special night. I have an OEL stick for every team he has played for including the Coyotes, Canucks and Panthers however, I didn't have one from the Leafs. I made an OEL sign like I always do and I had a check mark for all the sticks I had from each team with a check mark missing for the Leafs. I still feel a little weird asking for a stick since OEL has been so good to me with sticks and warm-up pucks he has given to me over the years. That being said, OEL help me complete my collection by giving me a signed stick. I am so excited to add this to my collection.

As for the game, the Leafs ended up losing but OEL did get 2 assists in the game. Having seats in the second row allowed me to see a lot of OELs game and the grit he brings to the team.

The night was a little bittersweet for me because I realize that maybe I am getting a little bit too old for getting warm up pucks. I feel bad that I would get a puck rather than a kid that is much younger than me. I have gotten a lot of pucks over the years and I know how it made me feel to get one. I am always going to go down to the glass during warm-ups so I can at least get a fist pump between the glass from OEL. If I do end up getting one, I am going to give it to a little kid who is maybe going to their first Leafs game.

Photos of the stick will be coming soon and will be available in the "Game Used Sticks" section of my website.

Got a few cards in today from COMC which is a website that people use to sell their cards. There are still some nice very limted cards I don't have but they are out of my price range. Who knows, maybe the price will eventually go down. I'm going to lead with the best card that I got which is a very rare card. Not quite a 1 of 1 but this one is limited to only 3. I always like getting these ultra rare cards in my collection. The funny thing about this card is they are just using the laundry tags in the Jersey. I guess they will put anything in a card, make it limited. Tomorrow I will sjow off a couple more.

Go Jays Go!

October 22nd 2025

As a Baseball player myself and a Toronto sports fan, I am super excited to see that the Toronto Blue Jays are going to the World Series to play the LA Dodgers. I thought it was really nice to see that the Maple Leafs were supporting the Jays by wearing Blue Jays jersey's on the way to the rink yesterday including OEL. Looking good OEL!

October 21st 2025

Been looking for this one for a while now. The elusive High Gloss version out of 10. I have seen this card twice before. Once on eBay and that was pretty expensive and I have seen one on upper deck e-pack. I'm just glad I have it, especially with it being a Leafs card. I still need the 2022-23 High Gloss when OEL was on the Canucks and I think I am missing one of the older ones when he was on the Coyotes. Getting closer though!

New Addition

October 16th 2025

A new card has been added to the collection and it is pretty awesome. I have only seen a picture of this card once and the piece of the puck didn't really have much of a print on it. This card though, may be the best one. A piece of the 20th Anniversary puck and as you can see, the 20 is visable, the howling coyote head and the years on the left and right side. Although its not numbered, I have a feeling that there may only be 5 of them in existance? At least I have the best one.

Goal 1 2025-26

October 15th 2025

A big night for OEL against the Nashville Predators. 1 Goal and 2 Assist! The goal was meant to be a pass to the front of the net but deflected off a Predators players stick. A goal is a goal though. OEL has looked good so far and is showing a lot of grit on the ice. I am going to see if I get a chance at getting the puck so stay tuned!

New Addition

October 4th 2025

I gotta say, I didnt think I would see an OEL card with him in a Coyotes Jersey again but, here we are. Looks like there is a subset in the new Upper Deck Artifacts series that is dedicated to players that played for the Coyotes called "Desert Dogs". There are 2 variations with this one being limited to 96 and a patch card limited to 25. I will need to find that one because this is an amazing looking card.

Training Camp

September 19th 2025

First day of Training Camp. This social media post by the Leafs reminds me of my Mom taking my picture on the first day of school every year. Looking forward to another season with OEL on the Leafs. I am hoping that my Dad and I will see OEL's first game against the Sabres in Buffalo. Unfortunately, Leafs tickets are too expensive. Best of Luck this season OEL!

OEL Michigan

August 20th 2025

On this day, Ekman-Larsson scored one of his best goals of his career against the Edmonton Oilers. OEL took the puck behind the net and pulled of a Michigan Goal. Watch it below!

New Addition

July 23rd 2025

A nice card came in today. It's a Frozen Foursome limited to 25. I wouldn't say that its an ultra rare card but it is a card that I don't have in my collection. I remember seeing this at a card show once but it was pretty expensive so I did not get it at the time. As luck would have it, there were 2 of them available on eBay recently so my Dad was able to get one of them. Pretty nice patches from a lot of cool Coyotes back in the day.

New Addition

July 9th 2025

A 1/1 card arrived in the mail today! Any type of O-Pee-Chee Blank Back card is not highly saught after but, a one of one card is just that. Only ONE exsist and I have it in my collection. My Dad was able to win this on eBay and he said it didn't cost too much. Regardless, a super rare and nice addition to my collection!

Got the new OEL Canvas Card today. The Canvas subset is till my favourite series as they usually feature some non traditional hockey player pictures. This one has OEL against a blurry background. I like it. The fact that he is wearing the Blue and White will always look good. Now I just need the Black and White version of this card. I think it may already be on it's way. I also got the Clear Cut Parallel. They always look good as well.

June 25th 2025

Another 2 for 1 came in the mail today. I now have the Deluxe and UD Exlcusive versions. Not too hard to find but at least it didn't ttake me long to get them. The hard one to get will be the High Gloss version which is out of 10. I just need to be patient for that one.

New Addition

June 20th 2025

Now this one is an old one that I never seen before. It's an OEL and Shane Doan Clear Cut Foundations card. It came out during the 2011-12 season and is limited to only 25 so I am pretty fortunate to get this one for my collection.

June 19th 2025

Two for one day. My Dad was able to pick up the regular base card and the Silver Outburst versions today. Still need a few other parallels. My Dad also showed that someone was selling the 1 of 1 Gold Outburst on eBay for $400. A lot our of my price range but it was cool to see online.

Day with the Cup

June 18th 2025

OK, this may be one of my favourite OEL cards in my collection. A card with OEL and the Stanley Cup!!! Nothing could be better. I will be honest, I was really disappointed when the Upper Deck Series 2 cards came out and OEL was not featured in the Day with the Cup limited series. I didn't think he was getting one but to my surprise, he has one in the extended series. These unlisted cards are very limited so I am very happy to get one.

First Leaf Card

June 16th 2025

Today I got my first Ekman-Larsson card wearing the Maple Leafs uniform. Its from the Upper Deck Extended Series and it is the very limited Red Outburst Parallel that is limited to 25. Overall, I like this card since it is good pose showing him in the full uniform. Now I just need to get the base version and all the other Upper Deck Parallels. Let the hunt begin!

Game 7!!!

May 18th 2025

This is it. Game 7 against the defending Stanley Cup Champions Florida Panthers. I am really hoping for a big win tonight for my Birthday. I don't think that it was a coincidence that OEL was on the main social media poster from the Maple Leafs. It's got to be a sign.

Fingers are crossed, Go Leafs Go!!!

UPDATE: Oh well, a disappointing end to the season but overall, a great season having OEL in the Blue and White. I am already looking forward to next season.

14th Birthday

May 18th 2025

Today is my 14th Birthday and boy did I get a present I won't soon forget. It's a Game Used Oliver Ekman-Larsson Jersey. I love the black version so getting this, it's very special to me. OEL played 2 games in this Jersey against the Winnipeg Jets and the Chicago Blackhawks. He had an assist in each of the games. One on a goal from Max Pacioretty and one from Maple Leafs Captain Auston Matthews. Thanks Mom and Dad for this awesome birthday present.

Leafs Win Series

May 2nd 2025

The Leafs are off to the next round of the playoffs thanks to beating the Senators 4 games to 2 in the best of 7 series. It certainly won't get any easier with the Leafs facing OEL's former team, The Florida Panthers. I know all about that team since I followed them pretty closely when OEL was playing. Should be a really good series. Great job with 2 goals OEL. Best of luck in the second round. Go Leafs Go!

2nd OEL Goal!

April 26th 2025

Although the Leafs ended up losing in overtime, Ekman-Larsson had a beautiful goal to tie the game at 3-3 and send it to overtime. Both of his goals so far in this series have been amazing goals. Hopefully there are still many more goals to come throughout the playoffs. Way to go OEL!

1,000th Game Gloves

April 25th 2025

OK, as you may already know, I have a bunch of Ekman-Larsson memorabilia from his 1,000th game. I love them all and I am really excited to say that I now have a new edition to that collection. OEL's Game Used Gloves from that game as well as a few other games during the season. So happy to have this in my collection. I have put more photos in the Games Used Gloves section of my website. A quick link is just below.

A nice card came in the mail today. All-Star Skills Triple Fabrics Patch limited to 25. If I were to guess, it looks like a number patch from his jersey. I will have to check but I think this was the year that OEL had the most hockey cards in one year. Regardless, this is a very nice patch card with some really good players including Mark Giordano. I also finished my O-Pee-Chee Parallels with the Yellow coming in today as well.

April 24th 2025

This one was picked up at the Toronto Card Expo. My Dad picked it up for me at the show. He had the day off so he went to the show to find me some OEL cards. He said since I have so many OEL cards, it's really hard to find ones that I need. A card out of 12 is a nice pick up though. Thanks Dad.

Card #900

April 22nd 2025

A special card came in today. Card #900 for my collection. Its a nice one too. A 1 of 1 Upper Deck 30th Anniversary buyback card. Still, its a one of one which is amazing. Glad #900 wasn't a common card. The countdown to 1,000 is probably going to take a while but I feel good about getting there one day.

OEL Goal!

April 20th 2025

What a game and it all started with the first goal of the series by Oliver Ekman-Larsson. I had a good feeling about this game and that OEL was going to be an impact player. A really nice goal as well. I think OEL had a great game from start to finish and I love listening to the comments today about something I already knew. OEL is a big game player. Way to go OEL and keep it up!

Playoffs!

April 18th 2025

I was disappointed that OEL was out of the line up against Buffalo last week since I was hoping to see him live one more time before the Playoffs. Hopefully his injury wasn't too bad but it looks like he will be ready for game one against the Senators this Sunday. Can't afford to go to the playoff games but I will definitely be watching. Go Leafs Go and best of luck OEL!

New Addition

March 31st 2025

A very limited Premier Teamates came in the mail today. This one is out of 10 which makes it pretty rare. It's a triple patch card with OEL and two of his former teamates from the Coyotes. As much as I love OEL being on the Leafs, it's still nice getting cards from when he wa a Coyote. A nice add to the collection.

Signed Print

March 29th 2025

One of the other items that I got OEL to sign a few days ago was my Florida Panthers Stanley Cup Print. Today, my Dad got me a Frame to put it in and it looks great. For now, I am going to put it in my bedroom but at some point it could go down in the basement with all the other OEL stuff I have.

OEL Meet & Greet

March 24th 2025

A super awesome day! Although I didn't get a chance to see him in Washington, I did get to see OEL today. On Saturday, my Dad came across a social media post that OEL was going to be doing a meet and greet at a Volkswagen Dealership in Whitby. That's about an hour from our house so that was OK. The fact that Oliver knew it was me and was excited to see me really made my day. He Autographed a few items from my collection including of course my Leafs Jersey which was awesome. I still get really nervous meeting him so I didn't say to much but my Dad always helps me out. Thanks OEL!!!

St. Pats Day!

March 17th 2025

Oliver Ekman-Larsson's first game wearing the St. Pat's jersey was a good one. Not only did the Leafs win 6-2 over the Calgary Flames but OEL had 2 assists in the game. There wern't too many photos from the game of OEL but the Leafs Instagram account had a really nice picture and there was a picture of OEL celebrating with Domi on a goal he assisted on. Always a bit weird seeing a player wearing colours you don't normally see on them. Way to go OEL!

OEL Goal Puck!

March 12th 2025

Super excited about this post. The Leafs had an auction last week and I won Ekman-Larsson's second career goal as a Toronto Maple Leaf. I am pretty sure OEL has his first Leaf goal but I am so excited to have his second that was scored against the Philadelphia Flyers on January 5th, 2025. More pictures and information can be seen in the "Game Used Pucks" section of my website. So happy to add this to my collection. I am only missing one Goal puck that I really want for my collection and that is a home goal puck that OEL scored. It needs to have the Panthers logo on it. Hopefully one day I will find it but I think there are only 4 or 5 of them.
