Boyd, who is the Condors team captain, and Keetley, who is the Condors goaltending leader in wins, goals against average and save percentage, will both wear special jerseys tonight, when the Condors host the Stockton Thunder. Boyd's jersey will feature a specially-designed silver Condors logo crest, while Keetley's jersey is gold in color, with a Golden Goalie logo crest and the Condors logo on the shoulders. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and game time is 7 p.m.
