ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Alaska Aces and the ECHL on Thursday announced specialty jerseys unveiled for the 2014 ECHL Hockey Heritage Weekend presented by CCM, hosted by the Aces at Sullivan Arena on Feb. 7-8.
The Aces, in their first season as the ECHL affiliate of the Calgary Flames, will wear specialty jerseys paying homage to the affiliation and Flames heritage. The Aces will wear red jerseys with white and yellow trim, symbolic of the jerseys worn by the Flames during their Stanley Cup championship season in 1988-89 and Cup Final appearance in 1986.
The Aces' bear mascot will adorn the front crest with the familiar "flames" from Calgary's "C" logo featured in the logo's neck area. The jersey also features the logos of the Flames (right shoulder) and Abbotsford Heat (left shoulder), the American Hockey League affiliate of the Aces and Flames.
Both jerseys will also feature the 2014 Hockey Heritage Weekend logo on the right front corner. Fans in attendance will have the opportunity to bid on the Aces jerseys in a live auction, immediately following the game on Feb. 8.
The Stanley Cup will make an appearance in Anchorage, Alaska on Feb. 7 and 8 at the event, which includes with the Seventh Annual ECHL Hall of Fame Luncheon presented by BFL Canada (Friday, Feb. 7) to be held at the Sheraton Anchorage Hotel & Spa at Noon.
