For the second straight season, the Vancouver Giants will play with a commemorative patch on their jerseys.
Last year, the WHL hockey club honoured late part-owner Pat Quinn with a green shamrock on their sweaters and another one painted under the ice at Pacific Coliseum. The executive died in Nov. 2014.
The reason for a patch this time around is much more celebratory. Founded in 2001, the Giants turn 15 this season and will wear a black, red and grey logo that shows the profile of a broad, toque-wearing player between roman numerals XV.

The 15th anniversary patch was revealed Aug. 4.
“We’re incredibly proud to celebrate 15 years in the WHL as an organization,” said Giants vice president of operations Peter Toigo in a prepared statement. “The new logo will help us recognize our history of success, and we can’t wait for our fans to join us for what will be a 15th anniversary season to remember.”
Since the 2001/02 season, the Giants has racked up five B.C. Division titles, two Western Conference Championships, and one Memorial Cup.
