Upper Deck was founded on innovative ideas and trying things that were different. When we heard about the NHL® Stadium Series which were also innovative and different, we knew we had to be a part of the program. Upper Deck stepped up to be a sponsor of the NHL® Stadium Series and at the first game in Los Angeles, over 50,000 fans were treated to a memorable night of hockey as the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks faced off. What made it really exciting was Upper Deck was there in force to provide fans with some great experiences ranging from a trading card station to professional photo shoot area where they could get a personalized Upper Deck card of themselves made on the spot!
