With the 2022-23 season fast approaching, it’s time for another new year of Upper Deck trading cards.
Upper Deck recently released their checklist for the 49 new rookies they will feature in this years Series 1 product. All 49 players will be carryover rookies from last year, so Series 1 will not feature any of the ’22 Draft Class like Juraj Slafkovsky. However, it does look to be one of the deepest classes of rookies to be featured in a UD product in the past couple years.
Owen Power and Matty Beniers, the top 2 overall picks in the 2021 Draft will both be featured in the product with their first-ever Young Guns cards.
In addition, the set will feature lots of other first-round talents such as Matt Boldy, Marco Rossi, Jack Quinn, Kent Johnson, and Lukas Reichel.

While Young Guns are the main attraction to Upper Deck’s flagship series of cards, the set will feature many other insert sets such as fan favorites Dazzlers which features the leagues top players with a sparkling background and different colors of those backgrounds to collect, and UD Canvas which highlights some of the top photography from the previous years NHL season with a matte finish.
No Capitals rookies made the cut for Series 1, but plenty more Caps cards are still being released from last season. September 28th will bring the release of 21/22 UD Artifacts which will include Hendrix Lapierre and Aliaksei Protas rookies along with veteran and legend autographs including Tom Wilson, John Carlson, and Mike Gartner.
Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey is currently slated for release on November 10th, 2022. You can find the hobby version of the product in local hobby shops or major card retailers online.
A retail version of the product should drop in Target, Walmart, etc. a couple weeks after hobby release.
