The headline says it all, but it’s worth saying again.
These are the best hockey jerseys (err, sweaters, eh?) ever.
Sure, we’ve seen the pink gear for breast cancer awareness in MLB and the NFL — and we’ve seen green jerseys for St. Patrick’s Day in a few sports for decades. They’re cool and all, but the Kingston Fronteacs junior league hockey team’s promotion earlier this week?
It beats them all.
For its military salute night, the Ontario Hockey League squad (based in Kingston, Ontario) honored ice icon Don Cherry with sweaters styled after his famously loud clothing that were worn during Wednesday night’s game. They are now autographed — by Cherry — and available on the auction block with proceeds benefitting a military support program.
Bidding on some of the jerseys is already pricey — and we’re not just talking the Canadian dollar — and the auctions close on Oct. 31.
Here are direct links to all of the auctions:
