Upper Deck drops puck on new Tim Hortons Greatest Duos Trading Cards set
Whether you’re a sports fan or not, there are arguably no greater institutions in Canada than hockey, the country’s national game, and the popular Tim Hortons restaurant chain.
The two national institutions go hand in hand. The Tim Hortons restaurant chain was founded by the NHL defenseman who spent most of his 24-year career with the Toronto Maple Leafs and was named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in history.
There’s even a Tim Hortons restaurants right outside the Hockey Hall of Fame, which inducted Horton posthumously in 1977, three years after his death in a tragic car accident.
Upper Deck is now bringing the two Canadian institutions together with a new Tim Hortons Greatest Duos Trading Cards set featuring current NHL stars and legends as well as PWHL (Professional Women’s Hockey League).
The set features 180 cards, with each card featuring players who made up iconic duos on the ice, from rink rivals like Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews; rookie connections like Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang; family foundations like Brady and Matthew Tkachuk; and those united in victory like Marie-Philip Poulin and Sarah Nurse.
THE GREAT ONE: NHL legend Wayne Gretzky still a hobby legend
There are three cards in each pack and collectors have a chance to find a Collect to Win Golden Prize card to win Duos-themed prizes. Prizes include:
• A 2024 Hyundai Venue or a 2024 Hyundai Elantra.
• A trip to a Montreal Canadiens game and have a meet-and- greet with star player Nick Suzuki.
• A $500 Tims Gift Card and a $500 Esso Gift Card.
Card packs at Tim Hortons locations are $1.99 (plus tax) or $1.50 with the purchase of a qualifying beverage. Participating restaurants also will have Tim Hortons Greatest Duos collection binders to fit all 180 cards available for $19.99.
“Our new Greatest Duos set is unique and exciting as it gives guests the chance to collect cards featuring some of the most iconic names in hockey together,” says Hope Bagozzi, chief marketing officer at Tim Hortons.
“It will also be fun for guests to rip open packs knowing there are amazing prizes available to be won, including a new Hyundai vehicle or a chance to meet fan favorite Nick Suzuki.”
