2025 Upper Deck CHL USA Prospects Challenge Hockey Checklist

The CHL's top 2026 NHL Draft prospects who faced the USA NTDP Under-18 team

2025 CHL USA Prospects Challenge is Upper Deck's e-Pack-exclusive set of the full CHL roster of top 2026 NHL Draft-eligible prospects from the WHL, OHL and QMJHL. This page is a dated snapshot of Upper Deck's public e-Pack checklist as of October 9, 2026. It lists all 119 rows in 10 groups. The 119 entries are card types, not a production run. Upper Deck calls these physical cards: each pack holds two Base Set cards and one Red Parallel, with a possible bonus fourth card. The store pack went on sale November 25, 2025, an offer date, not a shipping date. The checklist does not show which copies have shipped.

What's in the checklist

• Base: 22 prospects, PC-AD to PC-ZJ
• Parallels: Red (one per pack), Purple /49, Black 1-of-1 and Printing Plates 1-of-1 on all 22. Serial numbers are only those Upper Deck states
• Inserts: none in packs. Ethan Belchetz Photo Variant achievements (PC-EBV) for Base, Red and Purple, earned by redeeming completed sets
• Autographs: Gold Autograph Parallel (1:50) of Alessandro Di Iorio, Ethan Belchetz, Mathis Preston, Ryan Lin and Ryan Roobroeck, plus a Gold Autograph Parallel Photo Variant achievement of Belchetz

Notable subjects

Ethan Belchetz leads the set, with base, autograph and four photo-variant achievement cards. Alessandro Di Iorio also has a Gold Autograph. Adam Novotny, Beckham Edwards, Caleb Malhotra and JP Hurlbert have base cards and parallels.

Grading considerations

Only physical cards can be graded, and a card still held digitally on e-Pack cannot be submitted. For a physical card, check the surface, corners, edges and centering, and confirm the exact variant: card code, parallel colour, serial number on Purple, Black and Printing Plates, and whether it is a PC-EBV photo variant. On autographs, check the signature for smudging, fading and completeness.
