Just found this info in Beckett.
February 21, 2009, Upper Deck will celebrate Canada’s favorite sport by giving away hundreds of thousands of exclusive “National Hockey Card Day” NHL trading card packs. The 15-card set, which will only be available on National Hockey Card Day, will include star rookies, superstars and legends. The cards spotlight Canadian-born NHL players, and will be given away free of charge at hundreds of Canadian hobby specialty shops, as well as select retail locations.
“We’re extremely excited about this upcoming NHL promotion,” said Josh Zusman, Upper Deck’s hockey brand manager. “As the league and the Players’ Association’s exclusive trading card licensee, it’s only fitting that Upper Deck should produce an exclusive set just for Canadian fans.”
A special “National Hockey Card Day” logo-stamp will be on the front of each card, and the 15-card collection includes three subsets:
Canada’s Rookies (Steven Stamkos, Kyle Turris, Josh Bailey, Colton Gilles and Derick Brassard)
Pride of Canada (Sidney Crosby, Vincent Lecavalier, Jarome Iginla, Joe Sakic and Martin Brodeur)
Hockey’s Heroes (Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr and Don Cherry)
Hobby shop owners in Canada interested in purchasing 100-pack bundles of the set and corresponding marketing materials for the promotion are asked to contact Universal Distribution. For ordering information, please call either Universal at 514-335-9000 or 866-335-9001, or Universal West at 604-596-4320 or 866-487-4320.
