The 2016 edition of National Hockey Card Day is set for Saturday, February 6, with both U.S. and Canadian events held on the same day this year. Once again, the promotion offers customers who visit sports card shops the opportunity to receive a free pack of five special N
HCD cards (Update: Click here for photos and more from the event).
Upper Deck says it has created “hundreds of thousands” of packs.
Complete sets in each country consist of 15 cards each including rookies, current stars and past greats. Packs may contain bonus content such as randomly inserted relic and autograph cards.
Canada and the United States each have their own exclusively themed National Hockey Card Day packs.
In Canada, customers who buy $10 worth of Upper Deck products will get a 16th card featuring rookie Connor McDavid. In the US, it’ll feature Jack Eichel.
Upper Deck is also promising a “surprise chase set.”
“Upper Deck is committed to growing the hobby and making NHL trading cards available to everyone who would like to experience the fun of opening packs,” said Upper Deck President Jason Masherah. “National Hockey Card Day gives Upper Deck the opportunity to share this incredible rookie class with all hockey fans throughout Canada and the United States.”
A list of card shops participating in the program is below along with a checklist for the standard sets.
In addition to the card shop promotion, a special uncut sheet of cards will be available in Canada only at Toys ‘R Us stores and London Drugs. Card shops may have their own promotions in association with the free pack giveaway.
