Am I correct that 2 of the elder generation were twins? Played for the Blues, I think.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Yep, that's correct. And here's an interesting bit of trivia from their time playing in St. Louis:
The names on their hockey jerseys read "Rich Sutter" and "Ron Sutter" (first name spelled out fully), because "R. Sutter" and "R. Sutter" still wouldn't have been enough to distinguish them.

Trying to acquire one card for every for every set, insert, parralle, minor, euro, team issue, oddball etc sets produced for Hockey. Been an interesting project. |

I'm sure the Sutters take it in total numbers, but a couple others spanned more generations.
The Patricks: Brothers Frank & Lester; Lynn & Muzz (Sons of Lester); Craig & Glenn (Sons of Lynn).
The Hextalls: Bryan Sr., Sons Bryan Jr. & Dennis, and Ron (Son of Bryan Jr.)

According to wiki:
"The longest multi-generational family is the direct line of four generations starting with Howie Morenz, father-in-law of Bernie Geoffrion, who fathered Dan Geoffrion, who fathered Blake Geoffrion. All four generations have played for the Montreal Canadiens."
All four have cards but the son-in-law relationship doesn't seem that direct to me.

I added that card to my wantlist, cool!
I wasn't a hockey fan until I put on the NHL Network to see the Golden Knights logo, after a thread about it on here. I got hooked, it's been a part of every day of my life since then and I expect it always will be going forward.
Father in law absolutely counts. In that family example, he's Dan's grandfather and Blake's great-grandfather.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
