Upper Deck Young Guns rookie cards by season
A Young Guns card is Upper Deck's flagship hockey rookie card, and for most modern players it is the rookie card collectors mean. Here are the 85 Young Guns in our checklists, newest season first and ordered by collector attention within each season; the 2026-27 class is led by Cole Hutson #223, James Hagens #206, Victor Eklund #220. Every card number comes from a cited checklist on the player's own card page.
What a Young Guns card is
- Upper Deck holds the NHL trading card license, and Young Guns is the rookie subset of its flagship set: the last cards of Series 1 and of Series 2, plus a smaller run in Extended Series.
- A player normally gets one Young Guns card, in the series that comes out after his NHL debut. Players who debut late in a season can land in the next season's Series 1 instead.
- UD Canvas Young Guns and other parallels share the name but are separate cards; the rows below are the base Young Guns card only.
