2021-22 Upper Deck Ice Hockey Cards

Product Details

2021-22 Upper Deck Ice Hockey features multiple NHL seasons and card brands under the same roof.

While 2020-21 Upper Deck Ice Hockey was ultimately canceled due to pandemic production/supply-chain issues, the '20-21 cards appear in a five-card bonus pack. Exquisite Collection also remains a set-within-a-set for UD Ice, including cards from '21-22 and '20-21.

Hobby boxes offer one hit that can be an autograph, relic or all-new rip card. The Hobby format has many exclusive autographs and relics.
