Upper Deck Pack Attacks Invade New England
By Andrew Tolentino | Assistant Editor
Upper Deck and Sports Images have teamed up to bring an expansive Pack Attack event to the New England area this month.
Beginning with pre-qualifying Upper Deck Pack Attacks at eight different hobby shops in the area (listed below), the promotion will culminate with the winners from each location competing in one final event on March 3, 2011 at the Boston Bruins vs. Tampa Bay Lightning game. There, winners will receive premium prizes like player-signed mini sticks, Tyler Seguin-autographed gloves and a Rookie Showcase helmet featuring penmanship from this season’s top newcomers.
Those who can’t quite qualify for the grand finale at TD Garden won’t leave empty-handed, as the eight participating hobby shops will be supplied with plenty of prizes. Featuring various Upper Deck apparel, signed UDA items from the likes of Taylor Hall and more, each store should be a hotbed for hockey collectors this month.
