Lethbridge, AB - The Lethbridge Hurricanes were very proud to reveal their brand new third jerseys today alongside members of the 18th Air Defense Regiment, RCA who have recently completed tours in Afghanistan. The hockey club was honored to be a part of a very special media gathering and photo opportunity at the Vimy Ridge Armoury by the Lethbridge Regional Airport. The Canes new third jersey is a complete redesign that sees a return to one of the club's original colors - Cardinal Red. The reveal of the new jersey is timely as the Hurricanes are proud to show support of our Men and Women of the Armed Forces - especially during this very significant time of the year.

The Hurricanes are proud to host representatives of the armed forces for this game and hope to do anything possible to shine a light on the sacrifices made by all of these brave men and women.
