Former Manitoba Moose captain Mike Keane (THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM)
It’s a big night at MTS Centre as former Manitoba Moose captain Mike Keane will have his #12 jersey retired this evening.
A special pre-game ceremony will pay tribute to Keane — a three-time Stanley Cup champion — beginning at 7:30 p.m.
It’s the first jersey the Moose will retire in franchise history.
The first 4,000 fans in attendance will receive a commemorative Mike Keane #12 replica mini-banner.
The ceremony, part of Mike Keane Tribute Night, will wrap up a two-night set with the Moose facing off against the San Antonio Rampage.
Puck drop is at 8 p.m.
UPDATE: Premier Greg Selinger will induct Mike Keane into Manitoba’s Order of the Buffalo Hunt during tonight’s ceremony in recognition of his incredible hockey career.
