There will be two ways an individual can place a bid. Those details are listed below:

During ICE Home Games

A bid sheet for each retro ‘K’ jersey will be available under the ICE tent on the concourse of Western Financial Place during two home games. Those two games are January 5 and January 6. Bids can be placed on the spot.

During those two games are the only time that individuals can place bids on a jersey in person. Beyond the two home games, those wanting to place a bid can do so at 32 Auctions (information can be found below).
