For the game the Comets will be donning some sweet specialty jerseys that will remind you of the 2015 NHL All-Star game design. Goaltender Thatcher Demko is getting into the act and will don a great looking pad set, designed by Brian’s, that glows in the dark.

The jerseys will be raffled and auctioned off during the weekend, while there will be three separate live auctions involving Demko’s gear with the jersey, socks and pant shell in one; the pads, glove and blocker in another; and his mask up for bid by itself.
We’ve seen glow-in-the-dark goalie gear before, like*Ben Bishop’s mask,*but with Demko going all-in with a complete set matching the Comets’ jerseys, we give it a big thumbs up. It’ll look great on the ice, at least in the few minutes before puck drops for each period. Or in the next Tron movie.
