Fans will have an opportunity to participate in an online auction that features camouflage jerseys and camouflage-taped sticks used by Red Wings players during warm-ups, in addition to Military Appreciation Night pucks. The items will be auctioned off at DetroitRedWings.com/auction until Thursday, Nov. 18 at Noon, with proceeds also benefiting the MCVHA.
In addition, tables will be set up in the Via concourse outside the Team Store, where fans will have an opportunity to complete an "I SALUTE" card, and participate in a photo op. Fans are encouraged to salute veterans that have personally affected the lives of them or their families.
"In addition to expressing gratitude for local service members during every Red Wings home game at Little Caesars Arena, Military Appreciation Night serves as an immensely special date on the team's calendar each season," said Kevin Brown, Director of Community Impact for the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tigers. "This Veterans Day, we are once again joining together with Kroger for Military Appreciation Night - encouraging Red Wings fans in the arena and at home to share their support for our nation's heroes."
Military Appreciation Week kicked off on Monday, with 25 veterans from the MCVHA playing in a hockey game on the Little Caesars Arena ice. The organization offers individuals with military affiliation a structured environment to play the game of ice hockey, providing recreational therapy and camaraderie for veterans and their families.
A special group package for Thursday's game, including a discounted ticket, limited-edition "Salute to Service" cap and a donation to the MCVHA, remains available. Please
