2025-26 Upper Deck CHL Hockey Details
2025-26 Upper Deck CHL Hockey gives collectors a chance to get a jump on some top prospects in advance of next year’s NHL Draft.
Many players skating across the rinks throughout the Canadian Hockey League are expected to be first-round picks in the next NHL Draft, so collectors will have plenty to chase in this release.
Collectors can expect to find one autograph, several parallels, and a handful of inserts in each hobby box.
2025-26 Upper Deck CHL Hockey Checklist Overview
The base set runs 400 cards and is broken into three tiers. The first 300 cards in the set are traditional base cards, and they are followed by 50 Stars and 50 Rookies, which combine to land once per pack. A new Gold parallel (1:4 packs) covers all 400 cards, while the final 100 cards in the set have additional parallels:
- Outburst (1:16 packs)
- Deluxe /250
- UD Exclusives /100
- Outburst Red /25
- High Gloss /10
- Outburst Gold /1
Half of the base set has an Autograph parallel (1:40 packs) and a Blue Autograph parallel (/10). Autographs can be found on the first 100 cards on the checklist and the entire run of Stars and Rookies subsets.
Additional autographs play off of insert themes and are tough to find, falling once per case or less often.
- Prochaine Gènèration Autographs (1:256 packs)
- Skillful Figures Autographs (1:384)
- In The Crease Autographs (1:428)
- CHL First Draft Autographs (1:512)
Collectors can expect nine inserts in every box, and eight of them will come from the following sets, which each have Red (/199) and Blue (/25) parallels:
- Prochaine Gènèration (1:6 packs)
- In The Crease (1:8)
- Skillful Figures (1:8)
- CHL First Draft (1:14)
The final insert in the average box will hail from the Knack For The Net set (1:16 packs), which has Speckled Foilboard (/399), Red Speckled Foilboard (/99), and Blue Speckled Foilboard (/25) parallels.
The toughest insert chase, however, is the new Road To The Memorial Cup set, which lands just once every 384 packs.
