Each of the game-worn jerseys sold for between $200 and $500 each. For every replica jersey sold and most special edition T-shirts, $10 was donated.

“The donation from the game total are going to the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre,” Erhardt added.

Prior to the game, fans were encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item for the food bank, something they embraced as oil barrels full of food were collected.

The jersey auction was the first of the 2017 season for the Rush. Erhardt said two more are planned for the season but the themes are being kept confidential at this time.

The Saskatchewan Rush open the season on the road on Jan. 7 in Atlanta when they take on the Georgia Swarm. The home opener and 2016 championship banner raising is set for Jan. 21 at the SaskTel Centre.
