The AHL Iowa Wild (an affiliate of the NHL Minnesota Wild) have specialty Star Wars jerseys and merchandise featuring a wonderfully stylized Wookiee as their main graphic. Unfortunately, despite getting the “Wookiee” spelled correctly on the graphic, the tagline “LET THE WOOKIE(sp) WIN” written in Aurebesh, has it spelled incorrectly. Only the keenest of eyes (Star Wars nerds like me) will notice but I wonder whose arms will be pulled from their sockets due to that oversight.
Let’s Go Wild!!
Upon posting the news of the new Star Wars themed goalie masks from Bauer, I decided to pop into my local hockey shop (Total Hockey) up the road and sure enough they had 4 of the 5 masks (no Fett) available for purchase. Prices range from $229.99 (Youth) -$249.99 (Junior & Senior). Click on through for the first retail look at the gear.
