Theme nights in hockey are the because we get to see incredible jerseys we never thought we'd see worn by some of the best players in the world. In the NHL, theme nights don't happen that often and the most popular one by far is Star Wars night.

Junior hockey leagues, on the other hand, such as the OHL have theme nights all the time and one of our favourites is coming up this weekend.

On Saturday night, the Flint Firebirds host the Saginaw Spirit and in honour of Flint Tropics night, the team will be rocking these incredible jerseys.

As many sports fans know, Jackie Moon and his teammates made those jerseys famous in the movie 'Semi-Pro.'

Now the Firebirds are adding to the legacy of the Tropics and we imagine they're pretty excited about being able to rock the jerseys.
