The Militant Hurricanes

In last night's 4-2 victory over the Victoria Royals, the Lethbridge Hurricanes unveiled some special jerseys in the Salute to Service month, paying tribute to the men and women who serve and protect the United States and Canada.  These jerseys were worn for Military Appreciation Night, and as you can see, these jerseys are relatively simple and pay tribute in the best way possible.  The Hawker Hurricane is in the logo and the round circle is a subtle take on the RCAF.  There are five stars beneath the silhouette, with four being white (for Conference championships) and one gold star (the WHL champions in 1997).  When it comes to paying tribute to the servicemen and women, the minor and junior leagues don't miss a chance very often, and while many of them are great to look at, they are also a reminder that there are those who sacrifice their lives to keep their country and their people free.  The Hurricanes' military jersey is just another way to say thanks, and it looks good doing it.
