For Star Wars Night at the rink on Nov. 28 against the Edmonton Oil Kings, the team is set to wear uniforms it says will portray the battle on the ice planet Hoth from Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back. It's also for a good cause. The night aims to raise awareness, funds and goods for the Food Banks of Saskatchewan. There will be a silent auction where the jerseys will be made available to the public.

The Blades organization is asking fans to dress up in Star Wars costumes, too, for a chance to win prizes.
