Set Completion & Quest Reward Updates
Making the Mark 2023-24 Set Completion
Set Completion for Making the Mark 2023-24 is now live! Reward highlight editions will be awarded based on completion place.
Guardians of the Net Set Completion Reward: Connor Hellebuyck Vezina Edition
Congratulations to Connor Hellebuyck on his second Vezina Trophy as the league’s best goaltender! During the 2023-24 season, he posted impressive statistics, including a .921 save percentage, a 2.39 goals-against average, and 37 wins. Additionally, he earned 5 shutouts and helped his team allow the fewest goals against (199) in the league. With this achievement, Hellebuyck became the 23rd goaltender in history to win multiple Vezina Trophies which will be commemorated in a Heroic Multi Highlight.
Signature Debut Badge Update
The Signature Debut badge is being updated to more accurately capture the creation history of Signature Highlights and minimize any potential confusion with other debut badges. There will now be a version of the badge per Signature Quest to catalog when each Signature Highlight was first crafted. This means that all Signature Highlights crafted during Signature Quest l will receive a “Signature Quest l” badge, and any Signature Highlights that are crafted for the first time during the Signature Quest ll will receive a “Signature Quest ll” badge. Note that all editions of a highlight receive the same badges, so additional editions of Signature Highlights crafted during future quests will retain the badge they received based on when they were first crafted.
Making the Mark 2023-24 Quest Reward Pack Update
1 additional reward pack will be created and delivered to the first completionist of the Records & Milestones Quest due to unexpected changes in eligibility for the quest for some collectors. Current and future quests where eligibility may change are now clearly noted to ensure there is no confusion in the future.
Hanging from the Rafters Quest Reward Pack (Rare) Delivery Update
Due to a production delay, there will be a slight delay for the delivery of the Hanging from the Rafters Quest Reward Pack (Rare) until 7/12, at the latest. We are working hard internally to ensure these Quest Reward packs include the 2 remaining Rare highlights to be released for the set and can be delivered to collectors as soon as possible.
Opening Ice 2023-24 Set Completion Reward Revealed
We are excited to reveal the Set Completion reward for Opening Ice 2023-24 will be the Connor Bedard Calder Edition (Heroic)! This Multi Highlight will feature 2 iconic goals from Connor Bedard's first NHL season including his Michigan goal versus the St. Louis Blues, and first career OT goal versus the Winnipeg Jets.
We’ll be here all summer! Happy collecting!
