There are also several retail shops in Canada that will be participating in National Hockey Card Day, offering free nine-card sheets of NHL players, with three total sheets to collect.

This is the fourth year that the program will also be international, with Australia, China, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, South Korea, Sweden and the United Kingdom participating.

For those without a shop near them, fans can receive a free digital e-Pack from UpperDeck.com, prior to National Hockey Card Day.

Popular Upper Deck products include 2025-26 Series 2, in retail and hobby formats, O-Pee-Chee, SP, Allure, Artifacts and Black Diamond. Series 2 features the popular Young Guns inserts of the top rookies, including Schaefer, Misa, Zeev Buium (Minnesota Wild), and Utah Mammoth mascot Tusky.

“In partnership with Upper Deck, we’re celebrating the rookies, superstars, legends and mascots of the National Hockey League with the 17th annual National Hockey Card Day, bringing these superstars to life through free hockey cards,” NHL senior executive vice president, marketing and chief branding officer Brian Jennings said. “This exciting day brings fans and collectors together as they get closer to the game they love through these exclusive Upper Deck trading cards.”
