Promising "one of the most unique releases of the year," Upper Deck's 2025-26 Parkhurst Hockey sees the Parkies brand return to the trading card world with throwback styles and several non-sport inserts.
The flagship Parkhurst series was last issued as a standalone set in the 2023-24 ePack edition.
Parkhurst Champions has been a more frequent sight in the past few years.
