Edmonton Oil Kings to don camo for Friday’s military appreciation night

The Edmonton Oil Kings will sport camouflage jerseys at Friday’s game against the Calgary Hitmen.

The specialty jerseys are part of Oil Kings Military Appreciation Night at 7:00 p.m. at Rogers Place.

The jerseys will be auctioned following the game with proceeds going to Valour Place. Fans at the game will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets and participate in a silent auction for the one-of-a-kind jerseys.

“As excited as we are to wear these jerseys, we are even more excited knowing that all funds raised through the silent auction and raffle will directly support Valour Place here in Edmonton,” said Kevin Radmonski, director of Business Operations with the Edmonton Oil Kings.
