With the second half of the 2011-12 hockey season about to begin for the Manitoba Bison men’s and women’s hockey teams, an annual fundraiser will feature a special guest from the Winnipeg Jets.
Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff will deliver the keynote on Monday, February 6 at the Canad Inns Fort Garry.

Proceeds from the joint dinner fundraiser will support the Bisons’ hockey programs of the past and present.
Single tickets are $125, or $1,000 for a table of eight. Tax receipts will be provided. All donations will be matched by the Manitoba Scholarship and Bursary Initiative.
The night will include door prizes and a silent auction.
