Spirit to honor veterans with tribute

The Saginaw Spirit will host a special celebration on Saturday, November 6, when the team will recognize U.S. military veterans as part of a Veterans Day celebration.

The highlight of the event will take place prior to the Spirit game at 5:30 p.m., when local police and firefighters will hit the ice in the annual Guns-n-Hoses charity hockey game, with the proceeds going to benefit the Department of Veteran Affairs and their Aid to Needy Vets fund.

Special charity-priced tickets are available at the Saginaw Spirit store - $10.00 for an upper level ticket with $2.50 from each ticket going to support the Aid to Needy Vets fund.

Military veterans and their families can show their military I.D. at the Spirit store to receive a special $6.50 upper level ticket when they purchase at the Spirit Store from now until Friday, November 5.
