Upper Deck expands relationship with NHL legend Bobby Orr
As the NHL drops the puck on its international Four Nations Tournament, Upper Deck is expanding its exclusive partnership with the greatest defenseman of all time.
The official trading card company of the NHL is expanding its relationship with NHL legend and spokesperson Bobby Orr to include all Orr collectibles and memorabilia.
The two-time Stanley Cup champion was an elite scorer and defender. He is the only defenseman to win the Art Ross trophy as the NHL’s scoring leader twice, as well as winning the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s best defenseman eight years in a row.
“Bobby Orr revolutionized the game of hockey from one end of the rink to the other, and we’re fortunate to deepen our existing relationship with him as an exclusive spokesperson,” said Upper Deck President Jason Masherah. “It’s been nearly 50 years since he hung up his skates, yet he remains a household name for any generation of hockey fan; that makes Orr one of the most special athletes to play in the NHL. We are honored to showcase his career and help collectors celebrate his legacy through all collectibles and memorabilia.”
Orr’s memorabilia collection highlights his decorated career and includes authentic autographed prints, a high-end portfolio featuring Tegata and “The Show,” the revolutionary “Breaking Through,” autographed Boston Bruins jerseys, and more. Fans can add two brand-new prints to their collection: “Skating For Country,” which celebrates the only time Orr ever played for Team Canada in 1976 and won the MVP award; and “Excellence Redefined,” which honors his long-standing career and cultural impact on the game.
“I’m honored to be an exclusive athlete with Upper Deck and I’m thrilled to be on the same team as Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Tiger Woods, and Kerri Walsh Jennings,” said Orr. “This is very special.”
Fans can collect Orr’s trading cards and memorabilia at Upper Deck’s Certified Diamond Dealer hobby shops and on the Upper Deck website. To view the entire memorabilia collection, visit UpperDeckStore.com.
