2021-22 Upper Deck Ovation Hockey Details
2021-22 Upper Deck Ovation Hockey marks the brand’s return as a standalone release for the first time since 2009-10. This time, though, it comes with an e-Pack twist. Available exclusively through Upper Deck’s online pack platform, all cards have physical counterparts.
Hobby boxes deliver one autograph plus several inserts and parallels.
