Raiders to celebrate past championships

Nov 12, 2010 | 10:57 AM

Centennial and Memorial Cups are coming to Prince Albert Dec. 11 as part of 40 years of Prince Albert Raiders celebration.

The Raiders won the Centennial Cup, the top prize in Junior A hockey in Canada in 1977, 1979, 1981 and 1982. In 1985, the Raiders defeated the host Shawinigan Cataracts 6-1 in the championship game to capture the Memorial Cup.

The Raiders anticipate having members of all five championship teams at the game that night.

In addition to the appearances of the Centennial and Memorial Cups, the Raiders will wear a special commemorative jersey that will be auctioned off following the game.
