Every time a customer purchased fuel at an Esso fuel station in Canada, they received a packet of six "Power Players Trader's Stickers". These could then be pasted into an album. Two albums were available, the standard (paperback) issue and a deluxe (hardcover) edition. The front cover of the softcover album reads in French: "NHL Les Grands Du Hockey Album" and in English: "NHL Power Player Saver".
