Now the host committee for the 2013 MasterCard Memorial Cup is inviting fans to choose their favourite Blade stars from the past five decades.

"With the Blades preparing for this year's playoff run, our host committee started reminiscing about some of the great teams of the past and the players who led the way," says Tim Gitzel, Cameco CEO and co-chair of the 2013 MasterCard Memorial Cup in Saskatoon.
