Upper Deck has made a thrilling announcement in the world of sports collectibles by revealing their exclusive partnership with hockey prodigy Michael Misa. This young talent, anticipated as the top choice for the 2025 NHL Draft, has already made waves in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) by earning the prestigious “Exceptional Status” at just 15 years old, a designation only six players in the league’s history have achieved.
With accomplishments like winning the OHL’s Rookie of the Year award and the Emms Family Award under his belt, Michael Misa is set to captivate the hockey world, and Upper Deck is eager to be part of his journey. Jason Masherah, President of Upper Deck, has expressed his excitement over this partnership, promising fans a one-of-a-kind collection of Misa’s memorabilia and trading cards that will be available in both physical and digital formats.
Fans can look forward to acquiring exclusive items like autographed game-used pucks from Misa’s time with the Saginaw Spirit, prints of his #77 jersey, and signed jerseys capturing pivotal moments from his young career. Upper Deck has also introduced three special Game Dated Moments trading cards on UpperDeckEpack.com, commemorating milestones such as Misa’s #1 pick status in the 2022 OHL Priority Draft, his first goal, and his Rookie of the Year accolade. Completing this set offers a unique reward, as the first 25 collectors will receive an autographed version of Misa’s Rookie of the Year award card, available for purchase until February 22.
Michael Misa, brimming with enthusiasm, shared his delight in joining the ranks of legends like Wayne Gretzky and Connor McDavid as an Upper Deck athlete. For Misa, this partnership holds a special place in realizing childhood dreams and allows him to share his journey with fans who have supported him. The collaboration between Upper Deck and Michael Misa not only celebrates his burgeoning career but also upholds Upper Deck’s tradition of connecting fans with their sports idols through innovative and engaging collectibles.
