With uncertainty about a new NHL season, fans have been curious about whether Upper Deck would bring back the ultra-popular National Hockey Card Day event in Canada and the U.S.A. Today Upper Deck is happy to report that both promotions will be back for 2013 with National Hockey Card Day in Canada set to take place on Saturday, February 9, 2013 and National Hockey Card Day in the U.S.A. slated to take place on Saturday, February 16, 2013. Similar to years prior, Certified Diamond Dealers can purchase packs through their Authorized Upper Deck Distributor for a nominal price. Dealers will give these packs away on the event date to puck fans who visit their shop.
And this season the packs should be very exciting with improved collation to ensure a better mix of players in each pack and randomly inserted autograph cards! Take a sneak peek at some of the key cards in the sets along with some other important information on the promotions!
