Earlier this year, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers released a limited edition of a Bomber plate. They sold 8000 but the excitement around the new NHL franchise has forced MPI to released 20,000 plates.
The plates cost $70.
Each broker received 50 plates. It’s expected by the end of the day, the first shipment of plates will be gone, but MPI will be releasing more Tuesday.
