Unveiled: The 5 Rising Stars in Upper Deck’s 2025-26 Series One You Can’t Afford to Miss!
5. Sam Rinzel, Chicago Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks have two young blue liners featured in Series One, but it’s Rinzel that I believe will have the most hobby relevance. He was a 2022 first-round draft pick of the Hawks, but played two years of collegiate hockey at the University of Minnesota, scoring 60 points in 79 games at that level. Rinzel then debuted for the Hawks late last season, collecting five assists in nine games. The young defender has just one goal so far in four games this season, but he is a member of the Hawks’ top power-play unit, so I’d expect him to produce once that young group gets going.
