By Andrew Tolentino | Hockey Editor
Leaking more details about its upcoming lineup, Upper Deck recently divulged details about 2011-12 SPx Hockey.
Collectors will have to wait until late January – early February to break the updated brand, but the specs and highlights should suffice for now.
Before the box odds, there are a few new, and re-tweaked features to note:
- New Shadow Box Programme of Excellence cards
- Team Canada Superstars
- Dual-swatch memorabilia cards
- Ice / Ice Premieres cards
- Spectrum base parallels, now numbered to 15 with patches
Boxes come with 18 packs with four cards each, plus a bonus pack (likely Ice) and should yield the following, on average:
- One Autographed Rookie Jersey
- One Rookie Jersey or Winning Materials
- One Winning Materials dual-swatch card
- One Winning Combos dual-swatch card
- One Ice Premieres Rookie Card
- Two numbered inserts

Is it just me, or does the Toews mock up card have a John Tavares photo?
What’s the deal with Upper Deck and the Team Canada stuff the last couple of years? I get that a large amount of this product goes to Canada, but how about some Team USA cards sometime? These cards are sold here, too.
Yep and I agree. Toews, Tavares… They are both Johns right?
Cause Team Canada is more important. Yup.
that is John Tavares
Of course it is… He’s trying to follow JT’s great play for Team Canada 3 years earlier. C’mon you goys
