The 2025-26 Upper Deck CHL Hockey release puts the spotlight on Canadian Hockey League talent, giving collectors an early look at many players projected to be high selections in the upcoming NHL Draft. Hobby boxes blend autographs, parallels, and inserts centered on current CHL standouts and emerging stars.
Each 2025-26 Upper Deck CHL Hockey hobby box is built around a prospect-focused configuration designed for steady hits and parallel content:
On average, hobby boxes deliver one autograph, multiple numbered cards or short prints, at least one Outburst parallel, and nine total inserts.
The main set spans 400 cards and is tiered to highlight different levels of CHL talent:
The Stars and Rookies combine to appear once per pack, making them more limited than the core base cards. A new Gold parallel covers the entire 400-card checklist and averages one in every four packs.
The final 100 cards in the base set (Stars and Rookies) also feature additional chase parallels:
Half of the base checklist also receives signed versions. Autograph parallels are available for the first 100 base cards plus all Stars and Rookies:
Beyond the base autograph content, several themed insert sets include tough-to-find signed versions that generally fall once per case or less frequently. These autographs highlight specific skill sets and draft projections:
These low-frequency autographs provide some of the strongest long-term prospect upside in the product, especially for collectors targeting future NHL stars.
Each hobby box contains nine inserts, with eight of those typically coming from four main insert themes. All four have numbered Red and Blue parallels to deepen the chase:
The ninth insert per box is generally drawn from the Knack For The Net set, which focuses on scoring threats and features multiple foilboard parallels:
For those chasing the rarest non-autograph content, the new Road To The Memorial Cup insert is the toughest pull in the product, landing just once in every 384 packs on average.
Typical hobby box content for 2025-26 Upper Deck CHL Hockey includes:
With a deep 400-card checklist, tiered parallels, and a mix of prospect-driven inserts and autographs, 2025-26 Upper Deck CHL Hockey offers collectors an early opportunity to track and invest in the next wave of NHL talent.
