When the Vancouver Giants take the ice for Legends Weekend, they’ll be doing so in style. 

Twice this weekend, the Western Hockey League club will be sporting limited edition 1946 retro Vancouver White Spots jerseys.

 White Spot Legends Weekend kicks off on Friday when the Giants play host to the Regina Pats at the Langley Events Centre at 7:30 p.m.  After a trip to Everett on Saturday, the Giants will return home Sunday to host their B.C. Division rivals Victoria Royals at 4 p.m.

Over the course of the weekend, the Giants and the Langley Events Centre will host the following legends: Mike Bossy, Guy Lafleur, Marcel Dionne, Dale Hawerchuk, Mark, Marty and Dr. Murray Howe, Bernie Parent, Dennis Hull and more.

“On behalf of Nat Bailey and White Spot, we are very proud to play a part in the rich hockey history of British Columbia,” said White Spot CEO & President Warren Erhart. “To see the legacy of the Vancouver White Spots live on through White Spot Legends Weekend and these jerseys is very gratifying and it’s a fitting way that we can celebrate the 90thanniversary of Canada’s oldest restaurant chain.”

Fans will have the opportunity to purchase the game-worn, autographed Vancouver White Spots commemorative jerseys via ONLINE AUCTION. Proceeds from the auction will go to Zajac Ranch for Children.
