2025–26 UD PWHL Checklist: Young Guns, Postseason Standouts and Parallels

The 2025–26 UD PWHL checklist is easiest to collect when you keep its three numbered base sections separate. Regular Base Set cards reach Sarah Fillier #50. Kristyna Kaltounkova #51 begins the rookie-labeled Young Guns section, which reaches Haley Winn #70. Blayre Turnbull #71 then opens Postseason Standouts, a section that reaches Gwyneth Philips #90. Upper Deck’s official checklist supplies the set label, card number, player and team for each entry.

Those boundaries give a player collector a useful first question: is the desired card a regular base entry, a Young Gun, a Postseason Standout or a separate insert? A card with the same player and number can also exist in more than one parallel. Writing down the exact set name beside the number makes the want list much clearer than searching for a player and “PWHL card” alone.

Use the base set to build a player or team run

The opening base entries spread quickly across the listed clubs. Marie-Philip Poulin #1 is a Montreal Victoire card, Jaime Bourbonnais #2 belongs to the New York Sirens, Ashton Bell #3 to the Vancouver Goldeneyes and Cayla Barnes #5 to the Seattle Torrent. Megan Keller #6 gives Boston Fleet collectors an early number, Emily Clark #7 does the same for the Ottawa Charge, and Renata Fast #8 appears for the Toronto Sceptres. The manufacturer’s player and team columns make those exact pairings the starting point for a club checklist.

For a team collector, the number is more than filing information. It separates a club’s regular base cards from later cards carrying a different checklist label. Fillier #50, for example, closes the regular base run shown here; Kaltounkova #51 is also listed with New York, but belongs to Young Guns. Putting both on a Sirens want list makes sense. Treating them as the same type of card misses what the checklist is telling you.

Upper Deck states five Base Cards per Pack on the regular base rows. That describes the broad base category, not a promise of any chosen player or team. If completing a club run is the goal, a numbered list of the missing cards is more useful than assuming packs will fill its gaps evenly.

Separate Young Guns from Postseason Standouts

Young Guns begins at Kaltounkova #51 for New York. Emma Gentry #52 is listed with Toronto, Rory Guilday #53 with Ottawa and Jenna Buglioni #54 with Seattle. Natalie Mlynkova #55 for Montreal and Ella Huber #56 for Boston follow. Later entries shown include Kendall Cooper #66 for Minnesota, Nina Jobst-Smith #67 for Vancouver, Nicole Gosling #68 for Montreal, Hannah Murphy #69 for Seattle and Winn #70 for Boston. Upper Deck marks these entries Rookie in its checklist. That label identifies this product’s rookie section; it does not, by itself, establish a player’s first card across every release.

Postseason Standouts starts immediately after Winn. Turnbull #71 and Julia Gosling #72 are Toronto entries; Brianne Jenner #73 and Shiann Darkangelo #74 are listed with Ottawa. Michela Cava #75 is a Minnesota Frost card and Laura Stacey #76 a Montreal Victoire card. The later rows shown return to Minnesota with Liz Schepers #86, Maddie Rooney #87, Claire Thompson #88 and Lee Stecklein #89, before Philips #90 for Ottawa. A collector following one of those players should keep Postseason Standouts in the search term: it is a distinct checklist section, not a parallel name. Upper Deck lists the sections and card numbers together.

The checklist uses h, e, b and Bulk as format shorthand in those odds rows. The figures describe how often a card from the section appears in each format; they are not the odds of finding Kaltounkova, Turnbull or any other specific player. That distinction matters if the real goal is one player’s card rather than any Young Gun or any Postseason Standout.

Pick the parallel by the exact version and numbering

The checklist gives Poulin #1 a clear parallel ladder. Deluxe is numbered to 250, UD Exclusives to 100 and High Gloss to 10. Upper Deck also shows Deluxe and UD Exclusives versions of later Postseason Standouts entries, including Philips #90. These are different versions of the numbered card, so “Poulin #1” alone does not identify which copy a seller is offering. The parallel rows name the version and put its print limit in the numbered column.

That ladder offers three different collecting choices without changing the player or base number. A regular #1 can anchor a Montreal team page; a numbered Poulin #1 is a more specific parallel target. The lower serial limit identifies fewer copies of that version, but it says nothing by itself about the condition or asking price of an individual card. Check the parallel name and the card’s serial numbering before deciding which version belongs in the collection.

Canvas rookies, goalie parallels and autographs offer other routes

UD Canvas has its own C- numbers. The regular Canvas entries shown include Savannah Harmon C-20 for Toronto, Jenn Gardiner C-21 for Vancouver, Abby Roque C-22 for Montreal, Mannon McMahon C-23 for Ottawa, Corinne Schroeder C-24 for Seattle and Mae Batherson C-25 for Minnesota. Canvas - Young Guns then begins with Cooper C-26, followed by Kaltounkova C-27, Buglioni C-28, Gentry C-29, Winn C-30 and Abby Hustler C-31. The checklist marks those Canvas Young Guns as rookies and states 1:48 across h, e, b and Bulk, compared with 1:16 across those formats for the regular Canvas rows shown. A Kaltounkova #51 and a Kaltounkova C-27 are therefore two separate collecting targets, not simply two names for the same card. Upper Deck’s Canvas entries make that distinction explicit.

Goalie collectors have another numbered lane in Netminders Gold. The shown entries are each numbered to 50 and include Schroeder N-7 for Seattle, Ann-Renee Desbiens N-8 for Montreal, Nicole Hensley N-9 for Minnesota and Emerance Maschmeyer N-10 for Vancouver. That set code is worth keeping on a want list: Maschmeyer also appears in the regular base section, while N-10 points to this specific Gold parallel.

For signatures, Signature Sensations is the section to search. Upper Deck marks Ann-Renee Desbiens SS-AD, Gabbie Hughes SS-GH, Kendall Coyne Schofield SS-KC, Kali Flanagan SS-KF and Mikyla Grant-Mentis SS-MG as Auto entries, with random inserts listed for Hobby, e-Pack and Blaster. The set code, player and pictured card should all agree before treating a listing as one of these autographs. The checklist establishes the intended signed cards; it does not turn a particular copy or its asking price into a good buy.

The strongest want list from this checklist starts with an exact player, team and card number, then adds the version that gives the card its appeal: a rookie-labeled Young Gun, a Postseason Standout, a numbered parallel, a Canvas design, a goalie card or a Signature Sensations autograph. Upper Deck’s checklist provides the names and labels. The collector’s choice is which of those distinct cards is worth owning.
