CANADIAN TIRE DEBUTS EXCLUSIVE UPPER DECK TEAM CANADA TRADING CARD PACKS AT RETAIL LOCATIONS FOR A LIMITED TIME

Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. and Upper Deck have launched a brand-new Team Canada collectible trading card set that will be available exclusively at retail locations throughout Canada. The new set will be sold in limited five-card foil packs for $1.99 each with any in-store purchase. Packs will be available now through Dec. 28, or while supplies last.

The 160-card Team Canada base set spans several generations of hockey heroes, from Hall of Fame legends like Wayne Gretzky and Patrick Roy to current fan favourites that include Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Carey Price, Jonathan Toews, Mitch Marner, Braden Holtby and many more.

Collectors can look for exciting inserts such as canvas cards, retro cards, versus cards, World Junior clear cut acetate cards, silver spectrum parallel cards numbered to 100, gold spectrum parallel cards numbered to just 10 and rare autograph parallels.

"It's an honour to be able to work with such an iconic retailer like Canadian Tire," said Jason Masherah, president of Upper Deck. "We took great pride in putting together this Team Canada product and we hope fans enjoy collecting the set as much as we enjoyed putting it together."

The 2017 to 2018 Upper Deck Team Canada trading cards are exclusively licensed by the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA).
