The Hershey Bears wore Groundhog Day sweaters for the second year in a row (we have an up close look at the jerseys this year) and they once again where a huge hit around the internet.
Among the players though, not so much. “You really want to know (my opinion),” goalie Philipp Grubauer said after the game. “I was scared a little bit before the game. I couldn’t see the puck, really, because all that stuff was going on, on the jersey.”
The all jerseys are being auctioned off on MeiGray.com, where fans will be able to bid on them until February 26th.

The Hershey Bears have another special jersey night coming up and they are very…interesting. The New Years Eve jerseys this year include the words “Happy New Year” along with “2012” on the front showing the upcoming year. The Bear on the front also has a party hat on it’s head to give it that “I’m ready to party” look. The back has a clock with the time showing midnight. Both sides have balloons, streamers, and fireworks (what every New Years Eve party should have.)
