2022-23 Upper Deck Hockey Series 1 Retail Box

Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey — The One That Starts It All

Every hockey card season begins here. Upper Deck Series 1 is the flagship, the foundation, the box that collectors and fans have been cracking since the hobby was young — and the 2022-23 edition is loaded. Six Young Guns per box on average, a stacked checklist of inserts, and three brand-new sets make this one of the most anticipated retail releases of the year.

What You're Getting Per Box

Each retail box comes with 24 packs, 8 cards per pack, giving you 192 cards to dig through. Here's what to expect on average:

• 6 Young Guns rookie cards — the most sought-after rookies in the hobby, period
• 3+ UD Canvas cards — a collector favorite, featuring stars and Young Guns with that unmistakable painted look
• 1 UD Portraits — back with a spectacular new design, featuring stars and short-printed superstars
• 2 Honor Roll inserts — a long-running fan favourite making its return
• 1 Blue Dazzlers and 2 Red Dazzlers (Red is retail-exclusive!)
• 1 Debut Dates card commemorating first-game moments for top 2021-22 rookies

Three Brand-New Insert Sets for 2022-23

Upper Deck brought fresh heat this year with three debut insert sets:

• Centre of Attention — celebrating the best veteran centres in the NHL
• Defense Mechanism — a goalie-focused set for the between-the-pipes crowd
• Red Freestyles — retail and Gravity Feed exclusive, featuring star veterans in a bold, colorful design. Collect this set now and get ready for the rookie Freestyles set dropping in Series 2

The Base Set

Series 1 covers the first 250 cards of the 2022-23 Upper Deck base set — 198 veteran cards, 49 Young Guns rookies (numbered 201–250), and 3 checklist cards. It's the foundation every set collector needs before Series 2 drops.
