The NHL Winter Classic® has quickly become not just one of the biggest NHL® events of the year, but one of the biggest sporting events of the year. The NHL® has quickly established New Year’s Day as a day they own by showcasing an amazing sporting event with two great teams at a historic venue. This year is no different as the Toronto Maple Leafs head to the Big House in Ann Arbor, Michigan to take on the Detroit Red Wings. Crews have been working tirelessly to make sure the stage is set for one of the biggest games of the season. Watch as the stadium is transformed to an outdoor hockey arena!
And with such a historic game set to be played, Upper Deck has created a special trading card set to commemorate the game featuring ten cards from each team and some other surprises as well. Take a look at the checklist for the base card set along with some images of the cards:
