The Utah Grizzlies wore what was probably the best Hallowe’en themed hockey uniform in the history of the sport this past weekend… and now it’s headed to the Hockey Hall of Fame. According to a Tweet from Grizzlies head equipment manager (and @sportslogosnet follower!) Jon Laughner, the uniform worn by Patrick Wellar will soon be on display in Toronto:

The Grizzlies wore the special skeleton themed uniforms during their game Halloween night against the Colorado Eagles. The uniform consisted of a skeleton design on the jersey, pants, and socks to create a true full-body spooky experience.
