The one-of-a-kind jerseys commemorated Canadian veterans, with specific reference to Guelph's own proud history honouring Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae.

All net proceeds from the sale of these jerseys will be donated to the Guelph, Fergus and Elora Legions. Along with the cash donation, the Storm also donated a jersey to McCrae House museum and two jerseys to Guelph's Royal Canadian Legion Colonel John McCrae Memorial Branch 234.
The Storm would like to thank those who purchased a jersey and participated in the auction.
