Upper Deck, renowned for its sports collectibles, has unveiled an exclusive partnership with Michael Misa, a standout in junior hockey poised to make waves in the 2025 NHL Draft. At just 17, Misa has already etched his name in OHL history by becoming the sixth player ever to earn “Exceptional Status” in the league at the tender age of 15. With accolades like the OHL Rookie of the Year and the prestigious Emms Family Award under his belt, Misa’s trajectory in the sport is nothing short of exceptional.
Jason Masherah, the President of Upper Deck, couldn’t contain his excitement over the collaboration with Misa. The deal promises a distinctive collection of Misa’s memorabilia and trading cards, offering fans a fresh and exciting way to commemorate the young player’s career milestones in both physical and digital formats.
Fans can look forward to a range of exclusive memorabilia items, including autographed game pucks from Misa’s time with the Saginaw Spirit, prints of his iconic #77 jersey, and signed jerseys capturing pivotal moments from his early career. Moreover, Upper Deck has introduced three Game Dated Moments trading cards on UpperDeckEpack.com, honoring significant events in Misa’s journey such as being the #1 pick in the 2022 OHL Priority Draft, scoring his first goal, and clinching the Rookie of the Year title. An enticing offer awaits the first 25 collectors to complete the collection, who will be rewarded with an autographed version of Misa’s Rookie of the Year award card, available for purchase until February 22.
Excited about joining the elite roster of athletes at Upper Deck, Misa reflected on the partnership with enthusiasm. He emphasized the significance of this collaboration, as it not only fulfills his childhood dreams but also allows him to connect with fans and share his evolution as a player. The synergistic alliance between Upper Deck and Michael Misa not only celebrates the emergence of a promising talent in the hockey realm but also stays true to Upper Deck’s legacy of bridging the gap between fans and sports stars through innovative and engaging collectibles.
