Kitchener Rangers News Release


Kitchener ON: Rangers to wear a special Remembrance Day jersey on Friday, November 2, 2007.

The 3rd Annual Remembrance Day Jersey Auction will pay tribute to the many veterans who fought battle for us all. The Rangers will be wearing a special commemorative Remembrance Day Jersey for their game on Friday, November 2, 2007 against the Erie Otters.

The special jersey to be worn once portrays the Remembrance Day theme as well as honours the 1956 K-W Dutchmen Canadian Olympic Hockey Team. The Jersey has been designed to be fully crested with Ranger shields on the shoulder and the maple leaf with a poppy centred on the chest. The Jersey is in a Ranger blue colour.

During the game a silent auction will take place. Fans may bid on any of the jerseys that are worn. All proceeds from the silent auction will benefit the 78th Fraser Highlanders Fort Conestoga Garrison and a number of organizations it has chosen to support as part of its mandate to remember not only the past, but to also be mindful of the present. Beneficiaries have included the KW Poppy Fund and the London Military Family Resource Centre in support of soldiers in Afghanistan.

In the past 2 years the Remembrance Day Jersey Auction has raised more than $30,000 for various beneficiaries.

We also ask that fans attending the game wear red in support of our troops and to pay tribute to our veterans.

Tickets for this special game night are available at The Aud box office, Centre In The Square, online at www.centre-square.com or by calling 519-578-1570.
