These jerseys will be auctioned off with 100% of proceeds going to President's Choice Children's Charity to help feed one million kids each year. Following the game, any winning bidders in attendance will receive their jersey directly from the player on the ice.

Fans can place a bid at www.32acutions.com/PatsYourTeamYourJersey. Bidding will close at 8 p.m. on February 25, during Saturday's game.
