Never before has there been as many Newfoundlanders playing in a single NHL hockey season as the upcoming season promises. And the seven Newfoundland players — six of whom were able to gather to pose for photos on Signal Hill in St. John’s last month for The Telegram — all signed jerseys which are being auctioned off by The Telegram with proceeds going to the Children’s Wish Foundation. The proceeds will help make a wish come true for 13-year-old Blake from Fortune. Blake’s wish is to travel to watch his beloved Detroit Red Wings in a NHL game, and meet his favourite players — Daniel Cleary and Pavel Datsyuk. See stories in the print edition of The Telegram and on the main page of The Telegram website, with links to the official auction site. Also located under the website’s “Featured Links” section and click on “Hockey Jersey Auction” to make your bid for your favourite player’s hand-signed jersey. — Photos by Joe Gibbons/The Telegram
