The Hamilton Bulldogs announced
today the hockey club, in cooperation with the City of Hamilton, will honour
Hamilton Tiger-Cats Alumni with a special tribute prior to the ‘Black and Gold’
game on Friday, November 26th, when the Bulldogs host the St. John’s
Maple Leafs at Copps Coliseum.
"The Bulldogs are
pleased to continue the tradition of honouring past Hamilton sports successes,”
said Hamilton Bulldogs, Executive Director of Operations, Brian Lewis. “With our
community's re-embracing of the Tiger-Cats, it is fitting that our committee
take the tribute off of the ice and onto the gridiron in paying respects to the
many great players in the Hamilton Tiger-Cat Alumni Association. We thank the City of Hamilton, the Hamilton
Tiger-Cats, The Tiger-Cat Alumni Association and the Vanier Cup Committee for
partnering in this special evening."
The pre-game tribute for the ‘Black and Gold’ game
will include a Dinner and Civic Awards Ceremony in the Bulldogs Season Ticket
Holders Lounge at Copps Coliseum, and an on-ice tribute honouring the Tiger-Cat
Alumni. As well, the Hamilton Bulldogs players will be wearing special ‘Black
and Gold’ jerseys for this game only.
The ‘Black and Gold’ jerseys will be auctioned off at the end of the
game with proceeds from the auction going towards the Hamilton Bulldogs Youth
Fund.
“The
Bulldogs and Tiger-Cat Alumni both strive to enrich our city through charity
and community events such as the ‘Black & Gold’ game,” said Bob Krouse, a
former Hamilton Tiger-Cats player and Alumni Association president. “The Alumni is looking forward to their
involvement and appreciate being honoured in this fashion. It should be a great
evening.”
