Calgary, AB – The Calgary Roughnecks Lacrosse Club has unveiled a limited edition Star Wars-themed jersey that depicts the ice planet Hoth which played stage to a historic confrontation between the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance in the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back. The one-of-a-kind jersey, featuring Luke Skywalker riding a tauntaun on both the front and back, will make its one and only appearance of the 2017 National Lacrosse League season this Saturday, January 28 at 7:00 p.m., when the Colorado Mammoth visit the Scotiabank Saddledome for a Star Wars Party, benefitting STARS Air Ambulance.
