West Valley City, Utah - Guns N Hoses night on Saturday, January 19th was a success at 10,529 fans attended the Utah Grizzlies 4-1 win over the Tulsa Oilers.

The Grizzlies wore specialty jersey's for Guns N Hoses night, which had the names of fallen police officers and firefighters. Those jersey's were auctioned off after the game, where over 16 thousand dollars were raised in the auction. An anonymous donor purchased the jersey's that had particular sentimental value to the Romrell family, Burchett family and the Johnson family. That donor is giving those jersey's to those families.

The Grizzlies would like to give a special recognition to Home Sweet Home for the specialty jersey's that were worn for Guns N Hoses night.
