Albertans who are passionate about hockey will have a chance to show pride for their favourite teams with the release of new specialty licence plates today.

Service Alberta will be introducing two new specialty plate designs that will feature team logos, slogans and colors for both the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers NHL teams.

A portion of funds raised from the sale of the specialty plates will benefit the Calgary Flames Foundation, and Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation.

Plates can be ordered through an Alberta Registry agent, for a one-time fee of $75, plus applicable agent fees. Once the plate is ordered, it will be delivered by mail and can be registered for the standard vehicle registration fee.

The new specialty plates are an expansion to the existing program, featuring support our troops, and honouring current and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
