Anticipated 2025 NHL Draft pick Michael Misa has signed an exclusive contract with Upper Deck, marking a significant step in his burgeoning hockey career with a line of autographed memorabilia and trading cards.
In anticipation of the 2025 NHL Draft, junior hockey standout Michael Misa has sealed an exclusive multi-year partnership with Upper Deck, the premier name in sports collectibles. Awarded "Exceptional Status" in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) for the 2022-23 season at just 15, Misa has distinguished himself early on, becoming only the sixth player in league history to earn this recognition. Now 17, he has already clinched the OHL’s Rookie of the Year award and the Emms Family Award, setting the stage for a promising career.
Upper Deck President Jason Masherah expressed excitement over the partnership, envisioning a vibrant future for Misa's collectibles that span both the physical and digital realms. The deal encompasses an array of memorabilia, including signed game-used pucks from the Saginaw Spirit, autographed prints, and jerseys, all celebrating key moments of Misa's junior hockey career.
To commemorate Misa's early achievements, Upper Deck has introduced three Game Dated Moments trading cards, available on UpperDeckEpack.com. These cards highlight milestones such as Misa's first selection in the 2022 OHL Priority Draft, his first goal, and his Rookie of the Year accolade. A special promotion for the first 25 collectors to complete this set includes an autographed Rookie of the Year award card, with sales open until February 22.
Misa shared his enthusiasm for joining Upper Deck's esteemed lineup, which includes hockey icons Wayne Gretzky and Connor McDavid, acknowledging the partnership as a fulfillment of childhood aspirations. This collaboration not only showcases Misa's potential as a future hockey star but also continues Upper Deck's legacy of connecting fans with the sports and athletes they admire through creative and collectible memorabilia.
