The Winnipeg Jets will host the fourth annual Filipino Heritage Night on Tuesday, Nov 18th  when they take on the Columbus Blue Jackets at 7:00 p.m. The game celebrates Winnipeg’s vibrant Filipino community, which is Canada's third-largest, by showcasing Filipino culture, cuisine and community collaborations.

The evening’s entertainment will feature music influenced by Filipino culture, as well as intermission performances from a local dance group

Game presentation will again feature digital media elements created by students of Sisler High School’s CREATE program, an entertainment arts training program.

A limited quantity of Winnipeg Jets Filipino themed jerseys will be available for auction on the concourse during the game.

Throughout the game, individuals of Filipino descent will be recognized for their efforts to positively impact sport and the community.

During intermission, individuals enrolled in the Apna/Jets Bauer First Shift program will participate in a friendly scrimmage. As part of True North’s efforts to grow the game at a grassroots level, a collaboration with APNA Hockey launched the inaugural APNA/Jets Bauer First Shift program. The six-week introduction to hockey has provided an opportunity for more than 120 kids, many of Filipino Heritage, to be outfitted with full hockey equipment and learn from Apna Hockey instructors. Many of these new skaters will continue on with the program’s “Second Shift”. More information is available at hockeyforallcentre.com

An expanded line of Filipino Heritage clothing and merchandise will be available at Jets Gear and online at TrueNorthShop.com leading up to the Filipino Heritage Night game.
