Hockey fans spent the first weekend of the NHL season watching their teams take to the ice. Upper Deck sent staff to the hockey hotbed of Montreal to spend time with die-hard fans who spent their days breaking boxes and cases of new hockey cards releases at the Upper Deck booth for the L’Anti Expo. It made for an incredible weekend for fans and collectors alike!

Fans who open Upper Deck products at the L’Anti Expo scored these special packs.

Victory Black rookie cards found in packs provide a lot of excitement with fans!

Upper Deck Midnight cards from Team Canada numbered to 50 deliver thrills for Canadian fans.

Pulling autographs of top NHL players and prospects that are EXCLUSIVE to these packs helps make incredible memories with fans.

Fans flocked to the Upper Deck booth all weekend for the wrapper redemption program where they could score exclusive black packs for opening new Upper Deck releases. Lucky fans scored limited-edition insert cards and sweet autographs. Here’s a look at the collectors who joined us at the booth and just some of their hits!

The daily raffles brought huge crowds and lots of smiling faces. Fans in attendance scored sweet items like UD apparel, sealed hobby boxes and signed Upper Deck Authenticated memorabilia!

Upper Deck also visited a couple Certified Diamond Dealers in Montreal including 450 Sports and Sports Cards Hall of Fame. It was great hearing shop owner’s talk about early season products like 2019-20 NHL® MVP, O-Pee-Chee and Artifacts. Collectors are very excited for the first rookie content of this season’s talented crop of rookies so we anticipate it will be another great season of collecting!

Thanks to all the fans and dealers who made the event such a great success! See you next year Montreal!
