On Tuesday, the St. John’s IceCaps unveiled their alternate jersey for the 2016-17 season which pays tribute to the Royal Newfoundland Regiment (R NFLD R).
The tribute jersey will be worn on Military Appreciation Weekend from November 25th to 26th when the IceCaps play against the Providence Bruins, and is directly inspired from the hockey jersey worn by the local St. John’s hockey team, “The Crescents,” who were some of the first people to enlist to the Regiment in 1914 when the First World War broke out.
The Royal Newfoundland Regiment (R NFLD R) is a Primary Reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Army.
