Saskatoon Blades News Release


The Saskatoon Blades play host to the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Saturday night for the first meeting of the season between the two teams.

The game marks the 4th of the week for the Blades and it also is a very special occasion as it's "Saskatoon Blades Alumni Night".

A few very special former Blades will be on hand for the game as the Blades will also officially unveil a new retro sweater at the game. That jersey will be worn by the team on 8-10 occasions throughout the season.

The special jersey will also be the feature item in the Saskatoon Blades store at the Credit Union Centre. Plenty of them will be on hand for sale, with special customization all set to go as well.

As an extra special treat, the Blades are also set to give away a Pacman, stand-up arcade game during the game. The special giveaway is available for anyone who's in attendance at the game. By the end of the final buzzer, someone will have won the very special prize!

Great seats are still available for the game and season seats are also still up for grabs! Don't hesitate to contact our office at 975-8844 for any further ticket information.

Blades Notes

- After a strong month of October, Blades defenceman Darren Dietz has been voted as the Heinrichs Jewellers player of the month. In 11 games in October, Dietz registered 2 goals, 3 assists, 15 penalty minutes and a +1 rating. He was awarded his prize prior to the Blades last home game.

- The Saskatoon Blades will have three players taking part in the upcoming CHL Subway Super Series. Both Blades forward Josh Nicholls and team captain Duncan Siemens will take part in the event for Team WHL. Saskatoon goaltender Andrey Makarov will also be a part of Team Russia for the event as he is expected to dress for atleast one of the two games between the WHL and Russia.

The WHL edition of the event takes place November 16th and 17th from Regina and Moose Jaw. Last season the Blades also had 3 players compete in the events as Stefan Elliott, Darian Dziurzynski and Curtis Hamilton all participated.

- Finally, we continue to work closely with the Canadian Hockey League to put together more information on Memorial Cup ticket packages. No details have been finalized, but we can assure all fans that the easiest way to be assured seats to the event is to get Saskatoon Blades season tickets as soon as possible.
