Raiders turning back the clocks Friday night
Get ready for big hair, bright clothing, and a heavy dose of ’80s music as the Prince Albert Raiders honour the 1982 Centennial Cup champions during Friday’s contest against the Swift Current Broncos.
Members of the 1982 Raiders will be honoured in a pre-game ceremony, the current team will be wearing throwback jerseys in the style of those worn at the time, and DJ Anchor, the official DJ of the Saskatchewan Rush, will be playing ’80s favourites throughout the night.
“We’ve got [potentially] upwards of five guys coming to town for that night, and they’re excited to come back and meet our current team and be honoured that night for their accomplishments on the ice as a part of Raider history,” Raiders Business Manager Michael Scissons said.
“The jerseys the boys are going to be wearing are pretty special, the exact same jerseys that were worn in 1982 when we won our back-to-back Centennial Cup championship, and fourth in team history. They’re outstanding looking. The classic look with the stripes, the bare shoulder, no numbers on the sleeves, just a great looking jersey.”
