National Hockey Card Day

Description

Upper Deck’s annual National Hockey Card Day is a worldwide celebration of trading cards and the collector community that local hobby shops foster. Collecting trading cards connects you with hockey on a deeper level and is a way to interact with other collectors, often resulting in new friendships that can span decades. Now in its 16th year, the company continues to champion hobby inclusivity for everyone with a free opportunity to kick-start the hobby of collecting. New collectors and long-time hobbyists are invited to visit as many participating Upper Deck Certified Diamond Dealers in their area to receive a free pack of Upper Deck hockey cards (one pack of cards per person, per hobby shop, while supplies last). These hobby shops are vital to the collecting community since they act as a hub for collectors to meet up and learn from experts in the field. Upper Deck encourages friends and family to enjoy this day-long activity honoring their favorite hobby shops while also visiting new ones, since collecting can help bridge the generational gap between parents and their children with this shared interest. Fans are encouraged to trade with their fellow collectors to complete the 66-card set of NHL rookies, superstars, legends, and mascots. Notable players include Macklin Celebrini, Connor McDavid, Wayne Gretzky, and many more (full checklist here). Along with their free pack, participants can also receive a special Macklin Celebrini Rookie Moments card with a $10 purchase of Upper Deck products. To add to the fun, select major Canadian retailers will offer free nine-card sheets to customers with no purchase necessary.
