Upper Deck, a leader in sports collectibles, has officially announced an exclusive multi-year agreement with Michael Misa, a rising star in junior hockey and the expected top choice for the 2025 NHL Draft. Having been awarded "Exceptional Status" for the 2022-23 season in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) at just 15 years old, Misa joins an elite group as only the sixth player in league history to receive this designation. Now 17, Misa has already captured the OHL’s Rookie of the Year title and the prestigious Emms Family Award.

Jason Masherah, President of Upper Deck, expressed enthusiasm for Misa's signing, highlighting the company's anticipation for creating and distributing a unique collection of Misa's memorabilia and trading cards. This collection aims to offer fans novel ways to celebrate Misa's burgeoning career, featuring both tangible and digital formats.

The exclusive memorabilia collection available to fans includes autographed game-used pucks from the Saginaw Spirit, Misa's #77 jersey prints, and signed jerseys, capturing significant moments from his early career. Additionally, Upper Deck has launched three Game Dated Moments trading cards on UpperDeckEpack.com, commemorating Misa's milestones such as his #1 pick status in the 2022 OHL Priority Draft, his first goal, and his Rookie of the Year achievement. A special offer awaits the first 25 collectors to complete the set, who will receive an autographed version of Misa's Rookie of the Year award card, available for purchase until February 22.

Misa expressed his excitement about joining Upper Deck's roster of athletes, including hockey legends Wayne Gretzky and Connor McDavid, highlighting the significance of this partnership in realizing childhood dreams and sharing his journey with fans. This collaboration between Upper Deck and Michael Misa not only celebrates a young talent's rise in the hockey world but also continues Upper Deck's tradition of bringing fans closer to their sports heroes through innovative and engaging collectibles.
