KNIGHTS ASK FANS TO WEAR GREEN

The London Knights are asking fans to wear green when they attend all home games during the 2005 Ontario Hockey League Play-offs. Fans are asked to wear any green shirt they have as the Knights would like to turn the John Labatt Centre into a House of Green for all play-off games in 2005. The idea to ask fans to wear green comes from London Knights Players Bryan Rodney and Kelly Thomson along with Knights Assistant General Manager Jim McKellar who were looking for a way for fans to get involved in the 2005 Play-Offs.r

rTo commemorate the 2005 play-off season the Knights are pleased to announce that they have designed a Green Play-off T-Shirt for the 2005 Ontario Hockey League Play-offs.r

rThe Green Play-Off T-Shirts will sell for $ 10.00 and all proceeds will go to support charity. The Knights have partnered with local Charities Wellspring and Shoot for a Cure with all proceeds from the sale of these T-Shirts going to support these 2 charities. The Knights would like to thank LondonÆs Source for Sports for their involvement.r

rThe Green T-shirts will be available for sale at the London Knights Souvenir Store and on the concourse in the John Labatt Centre as well as at London Source for Sports on Wharncliffe beginning on Thursday, March 24th.r
