Upper Deck Debuts National Hockey Card Day in America in February 2012

Since 2009, Upper Deck has partnered with Canadian retailers to put on the wildly successful National Hockey Card Day program where collectors can receive a FREE pack of NHL trading cards just for visiting participating stores on a specific day. Retailers love the event because with so much traffic in their stores, they usually have great sales on that day. Customers love it because they are getting something for free and because retailers usually run a variety of specials and promotions to capitalize on all the store traffic.

The one complaint Upper Deck has received over and over again was, “What about the NHL fans in the USA? Where’s our special day?” Well on February 11, 2012 Upper Deck is bringing puck fans in the states a National Hockey Card Day all their own!

The giveaway will begin the day before Hockey Day in America which is scheduled to take place on Sunday, February 12, 2012, capitalizing on a heightened interest in hockey in the USA. Upper Deck’s 2012 National Hockey Card Day America packs will be delivered exclusively through the company’s network of Certified Diamond Dealers who operate brick and mortar hobby shops throughout the United States. Puck fans can visit one of these shops and receive a FREE pack of Upper Deck NHL National Hockey Card Day cards while supplies last. Upper Deck will share a list of participating retailers as the event draws closer.

The American version of National Hockey Card Day will have many of the same features as the Canadian version, but with some unique twists...(read more here)

Also, you can win a Zamboni-load of cards in the National Hockey Card Day in Canada and America Contest!
