The Brandon Wheat Kings have announced they will wear special commemorative jerseys when they open the 2010 MasterCard Memorial Cup in Brandon, MB this Friday May 14. The “specially-designed” jerseys will be worn for the May 14 match against OHL champion Windsor Spitfires, who are also the reigning Memorial Cup champions from 2009.

While the game is in action, fans can bid on these jerseys to take them home and add them to their collection. The auction starts at 7pm, the same time the puck drops on the 2010 Memorial Cup competition. The auction closes 11 days later at 9pm on May 25. Proceeds from the auction go towards the Dominion Command Poppy Trust Fund, supporting veterans and their families.

The special jerseys were designed by the CHL in conjunction with the Brandon Wheat Kings in honour of the Canadian Army, “specifically the men and women past, present, and future of (Manitoba’s) CFB Shilo.”
