The St. Thomas Stars host the Elmira Sugar Kings this evening at the Joe Thornton Community Centre.
Both teams are trying to win their way out of two-game losing streaks.
It is also a home-and-home series with the return match in Elmira on Sunday.
Come on out for Jersey Night, where you are encouraged to wear your favourite team shirt from any sport.
It is also a night to honour Noah Dugas, a young hockey player whose legacy lives on through the Noah Strong movement, and who was a friend of Stars’ captain Kaedyn Long.
A portion of ticket sales will be donated to the NoahStrong Campaign. For more information visit http://NoahStrong.ca
