TOTY Overview

When TOTY begins on March 13, the first of four rosters will be released in packs, starting with the Young Guns lineup featuring players 23 and under who dominated the game this year. With four forward lines, three defensive corps, a starting and backup goalie, along with five defensive items, there will be a total of 25 extremely-strong player items introduced in packs with each weekly roster.

Over the course of four consecutive weeks, a new team will be released each Wednesday until the final roster is revealed on April 3, giving you even more items to collect as the event rolls along. As these weekly rosters are released, there will be a series of packs in the HUT store that correspond with that week's theme, with the Young Guns packs arriving week one. This is without a doubt the best chance of the year to add to your Ultimate Team.
