Upper Deck, the Carlsbad-based worldwide leader in sports and entertainment collectibles, announced the fifth edition of its NHL My MVP Program Contest on Nov. 13 after a record-breaking number of entrants last year.
Upper Deck is continuing its pursuit to support hockey’s proudest fans and honor their commitment to the game.
“Each year of the NHL My MVP Program Contest brings light to new fans, their passion, connection to the game of hockey, and new stories highlighting their commitment to their teams. We are fortunate for the opportunity to connect with them and share their spirit,” said Paul Nguyen, senior manager of Upper Deck. “We’re proud to build a contest that invigorates fans, connects hockey communities, and unites people by their passion for the sport.”
Eligible fans can submit themselves as the most dedicated fan on the contest entry page. Contestants will be asked to describe why they are the MVP, such as how they have made a positive impact on their fan community or exhibited tremendous enthusiasm for their favorite NHL team. Eligible fans who are 18 years old and over residing in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., and Canada may enter.
Once the entry period has closed, the first round will begin as fans vote for one nominee for each NHL team who they believe is the Team MVP. Those with the highest votes from each team will move on to the second round of voting to determine the Ultimate MVP, the overall winner of the contest.
The Ultimate MVP will receive a prize package that includes two 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs tickets, $500 USD travel voucher, one-night paid lodging, official trading card in 2025-26 Upper Deck product and more.
