The Force Guides IceMen to Victory

Evansville IceMen wore Star Wars jersey on Dec. 1
The ECHL's Evansville IceMen used The Force over the weekend to defeat the Kalamazoo Wings. It was Star Wars Night at the Ford Center in Evansville, Ind. on Saturday. And the IceMen were decked out in special sweaters to mark the occasion.

The IceMen hold these Star Wars Nights each season, but don't always have a special uniform like they did over the weekend. You can find more photos from this game via Steinhaus Fotographie. (Too bad about the excessive watermark even if it is understandable.)
Thanks to Icethetics reader Jason Jones for the tip.

is there something i'm missing here? why is shredder from the ninja turtles on their jerseys?
Where can I get one of these? As a mutual fanatic of hockey and Star Wars, this is like a dream come true!
@KURT - It's supposed to be a Snowtrooper, featured in Episode IV: The Empire Strikes Back http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Snowtrooper
Minnesnowta they were auctioned post game to benefit a local charity. I managed to snag one. Like you, my two fandom universes converged and I had to have it. :)
Can't say the B-Wing really screams Star Wars over a lot of other ships... X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Star Destroyer, Millennium Falcon, and they go with B-Wing?
Cool theme night. Boring jersey.
ah! i see. i get that a snowtrooper makes more thematic sense since it is hockey, but i feel like that is going to be a miss on a lot of people. seems like a simple stormtrooper would be more accessible and desirable to own.
I heard from the Icemen staff that they sent a jersey to Lucas Arts! That's kinda Cool.
