Manitoba Moose Moose Reveal Star Wars Details
(Manitoba Moose)
Winnipeg, MB - The Manitoba Moose Hockey Club is pleased to announce details for Star Wars Day on Saturday, Dec. 3 when the Moose face the Texas Stars in a 2 p.m. CT puck drop at the MTS Centre.
Fans attending the game will feel as if they left Winnipeg for a galaxy far, far away as the conflict between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire takes over the MTS Centre. The familiar sights and sounds of a Moose game will be replaced by elements from the Star Wars universe. Even the players will sport a new look, wearing special edition Star Wars jerseys for warmup. The jersey design will be revealed later this week.
The special edition jerseys will be available for auction. A select number will be auctioned during the game. The rest of the jerseys will be available in a week-long online auction opening the week following the game. The proceeds will be donated to the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada, Manitoba and Nunavut Chapter.
Following standard Imperial procedure, the first 3,000 fans through the doors will receive a limited edition, 12"x18" Manitoba Moose Star Wars Day poster only available at the Dec. 3 game. (See attached image)
The day would not be complete without the characters who make Star Wars such an iconic franchise. Members of the 501st Legion - Canadian Garrison and the Mandalorian Mercs will be on the concourse bringing those characters to life and interacting with fans. Moose fans attending the game are encouraged to take their first step into a larger world and wear their Star Wars best. Fans dressing up as Star Wars characters will have the chance to win prizes throughout the night, even those a little short for a Stormtrooper.
With over 7,000 tickets already sold, be sure to get yours soon. We would be honoured if you would join us on Saturday, Dec. 3. Visit moosehockey.com/tickets to purchase tickets and may the Force be with you.
