The Great Falls Grizzlies have announced that their May the 4th home game will be designated as Star Wars Night! For one night only the team will be known as the Great Falls Wookiees, complete with themed jerseys that feature the team's usual snarling bear logo changed into a roaring Wookiee! The nameplates and numbers will be rendered in the instantly-recognizable STAR WARS font, and the jerseys themselves will be designed to resemble iconic the pale brown robes of Jedi knights. Players will even be using customized sticks painted either "Lightsaber Blue" or "Lightsaber Green." Besides the special edition jersey, Wookiees goalie Alvin Towne will also be using a special green Yoda-themed goalie mask and trapper.
Following the game, Towne's Yoda gear and all game-worn Jedi Edition jerseys will be signed by the players and auctioned off for charity! The team will donate 100% of all money received to Lucasfilm's Star Wars: Force for Change program and the George Lucas Educational Foundation! Official licensed versions of the Jedi Edition jersey will also be available in the Grizzlies' Den team store for a limited time!
