Kevin-B Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Regina, Saskatchewan – A night Regina Pats fans are waiting for is finally been confirmed. The Pats will officially retire the jersey and number of former Pats star, Jordan Eberle, in a pre-game ceremony at the Brandt Centre, December 5th. Since postponing the original date scheduled for this past October, the Regina Pats have been working closely with the Jordan and his family as well as the Edmonton Oilers and Oklahoma City Barons to find a suitable date allowing Jordan to be in Regina for this special night. “We are pleased that we have been able to find a date that works for everyone involved and that we will be able to go forward with this special night as planned,” comments Pats President Brent Parker. “We know how much this honor means to Jordan and his family and we are all very much looking forward to raising his number to the rafters of the Brandt Centre on December 5th.” Career Accomplishments:Selected in the 7th round, 126th overall by the Regina Pats at the 2005 WHL Bantam DraftWHL Player of the Month – October 2007, October 2009WHL First Team All-Star – 2008, 2010WHL Scholastic Player of the Year – 2008Selected 22nd Overall by the Edmonton Oilers at the 2008 NHL Entry DraftWHL and CHL Player of the Year – 2010Regina Pats leading scorer – ‘07-‘08, ’08-’09, ’09-‘10Regina Pats MVP – ’08-’09, ’09-‘10Member of Canada’s World Junior Championship Team – 2009 (Gold), 2010 (Silver)World Junior Championships All-Star Team, Best Forward and MVP – 2010Tied for Canada’s second all-time leading scorer at the World Junior ChampionshipsNHL All-Star – 2012Lady Byng Trophy finalist – 2012 Jordan, along with Pats Owner Russ Parker and President Brent Parker will be available to speak with members of the media at the Wascana Country Club at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning as a part of the Eberle & Friends Golf Classic media conference. http://www.whl.ca/article/pats-to-retire-jordan-eberle-s-number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Alexander Cody Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Some reason when I saw Pats, I immediately thought Patriots... And then when I saw Eberle I thought, he plays hockey though, not football...... and then I remembered he played in Regina before being drafted.

Kevin-B Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 I tend to avoid the NHL rumor mill but its tough not getting a little interested in the thought of Eberle wearing a Canucks uniform but thats probably more wishful thinking on my part.
