A hockey card featuring Mike McEwen.
Michael Todd McEwen (born August 10, 1956) is a retired Canadian ice hockey player. He was born in Hornepayne, Ontario.
An offensive-minded defenceman, McEwen was selected by the New York Rangers in the 1976 NHL Draft. His talents immediately paid dividends as he helped guide the Rangers to the finals in 1979.

The trade would soon payoff for the Islanders as his offensive talents helped them in three of their Stanley Cup championships 1981, 1982, 1983.
McEwen would also play for the Los Angeles Kings, Washington Capitals. Detroit Red Wings and Hartford Whalers before his NHL career ended following the 1987–88 season.
