The lack of an NHL license won't keep ITG from being able to include memorabilia from NHL jerseys. They just can't use NHL logos or branding on the player images or on the card itself (so no Maple Leafs logo on the back of a Mats Sundin card).
As you can see from the sell sheet, they are using quite a bit of NHL memorabilia.
