When the Lumberjacks host archrival Kalamazoo this Saturday night, December 27th at 7:00 pm at Walker Arena, they will don for the third and final time their third jersey, the new-fangled “Vegas Gold” jerseys which will be auctioned immediately following the game.
The third jersey auction was originally scheduled for December 19th but had to be re-scheduled when the ‘Jacks contest that night against Fort Wayne was postponed due to inclement winter weather conditions.
This special auction will be conducted immediately following the game in the Walker Arena Annex with a live DJ to provide a night’s full of entertainment. As a very special feature to this auction, other choice team memorabilia will also be available for the best bids. The auction of these special Lumberjacks jerseys will represent the very first opportunity for the Lakeshore community to obtain an official game worn jersey since the advent of the second coming of the new Lumberjacks. A portion of the proceeds from this auction will be donated to the Baird Family Fund in honor of Jason Baird. Signed to a contract by the Lumberjacks for the current 2008-09 IHL season, Jason was severely burned in a landscaping accident last summer on July 17, 2008.
