Edmonton's Finest- Rocky Maze

When did junior hockey star Rocky Maze first appear on a trading card? It may very well be his Edmonton Police Service 2000 issue. The card inicates he has spent 22 years with EPS. The card also states his favorite sport is hockey.
In the early 1970's, Maze played for the Edmonton Oil Kings and was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in 1976. Maze was also drafted by the WHA Cleveland Crusaders. The Edmonton native went to camp with the Buffalo Sabres in the mid -1970's and spent some time playing for the Charlotte Checkers in the Southern League. He became disillusioned with the game and knew the odds of making the NHL were slim. Maze returned to Edmonton and gave up the NHL dream after a single season. He applied to the EPS in September 1977 and the rest is history.
Maze has become involved in coaching and is a member of the 'Faded Blues' police hockey team.
