Knock Out The Lockout

Wear Your Hockey Jersey Day, Dec. 15

Dear hockey fan,

If you're a NHL hockey fan, I am sure you have at least one hockey jersey. Now, if you don't play hockey, chances are that your jersey is hanging in your closet, untouched. Here's a chance for you to dust off your jersey and try to make a difference!

I was going through my closet the other night and I came across my Red Wings jersey. I suddenly became sad; I realized that there's a chance I wouldn't get to wear it to a hockey game this season. I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be cool to have hockey fans all over the world unite and wear their favorite jersey to show the world, and especially the two parties involved that we miss our sport?"

I cordially invite all fans to wear a NHL hockey jersey on December 15th. Wear it to work. Wear it to school!

Bring back the game - knock out the Lockout!

Kristin

I think it's a great idea :)

We have made buttons for the event. If you click on the shop button or visit http://www.cafepress.com/modsquadhockey/ - they are for sale there. I think this could go over very well.

I'm game.

Way cool...remember to pass it along to everyone you know!

Excellent idea B)

Hell, I'll even wash my shirt for the occasion. Maybe, just maybe the owners and the players will get the message that there’s a third party affected by this lockout, us FANS! Get onboard, get a button. It's our game too.

Well done krisrt4tin

There is no way I can wear a jersey to work. I'm in for some pins though.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

That'll definitely work.

I've got an exam so I'm bummin' it anyways. Looks like I'm game.

I'm in, I'm gunna go to the principal with this idea and see if we can get my whole school involved.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Awesome - the beauty of this is that it doesn't take much and you can make a stand. All you gotta do is rock the sweater.

I'll go for it, and I'll spread the word around as much as I can ;)

[prenny207 1]

jr. what you need to organize is for everybody that lives in a nhl town to go to the local nhl arena with their jersey on... if not, go to your local rink with the jersey... all at a certain time on that day.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

LOL...Kristin wants everyone in Detroit to go to JLA and line up on the steps...you better be there! Bring your brother - I'm sure someone will come up to him and say "Hey, I saw you when I went to the bathroom!" ;)

Stupid question here...

Is this an actual widely-known nationwide activity or is it just something that Kristin and/or J.R. have started? Either way, great idea and I'm game.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

It's starting here. It is Kristin's idea.

It is actually moving pretty well. It's on every major hockey-related bulletin board, including all of the official NHL team ones.

The press release will be done tonight and sent out to certain media outlets tomorrow.

If you guys have any other ways of promoting it, shoot me an email.

This is cool, every hockey fan should do this to show respect for the game we love.

[Shorthanded67 0]

Cool. I'll print up a flyer and throw it up onto my rink's bulletin board. Or maybe someone could quickly come up with a snazzy-looking printable flyer that we could all use.

My board got wind of this over at TheStateofHockey.net and we are more than happy to participate!

I also put some links and such on other sites to spread the word. Good idea!

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Great, I saw the post earlier today. I posted it on the Wild MB and they also had good things to say. Guess you guys are really the State Of Hockey :)

[Marshy 0]

Sure are. Even though the NHL is locked out, we still have a really active board with the WCHA teams, OHL discussions, and high school.

Let me know if there is anything else that you need.

I also posted it on AllDucks.com's Message Board.

[wingsfan7777 0]

I think we should all email NHL.com to put it up on the front page of the site.

Here's a link to email them.

i dont think it'd happen.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Yeah, it won't happen. It has to be as grassroots as possible.
