Soo Greyhounds Hockey Club announce Indigenous Heritage Night, presented by Gen7 Fuel
Gen7Fuel Rankin, proud Sponsor of the Soo Greyhounds, will give the community a special night in the arena for our Heritage Indigenous Night this Saturday.
The Soo Greyhounds Hockey Club is proud to announce their Indigenous Heritage Night, presented by Gen7 Fuel, which will take place on Saturday September 30th, 2023, when they host the Brantford Bulldogs at the GFL Memorial Gardens (7:07pm game time).
As part of the game night, the Greyhounds will wear Indigenous inspired jerseys created by Ojibway Woodland artist Thomas Sinclair. The jersey design includes Sinclair’s interpretation of an ancient red paint pictograph at Agawa Bay, a powerful spiritual being called “The Great Mishupizhu”. The logo also features the word “Bawating”, the Anishinaabe name for the land also known as Sault Ste Marie.
We cannot wait to feel the energy in the arena this Saturday and give tribute to the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. #everychildmatters
