The Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation always does a fantastic job putting together an event to benefit the central Ohio community. This year's edition of "The Cannonball," held at The Bluestone, was no different.
From the event's website:
"The CannonBall is the Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation’s annual premier fundraiser supporting the health and wellness of youth in the central Ohio community."
Part of the fundraising effort is a jersey auction involving every player on the team. The jerseys were western-themed, as was the whole night. Multiple players went to the event wearing bolo ties.

The results of the auction itself were fascinating: goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, earning $950, led the way while fellow goaltender Joonas Korpisalo and forward Pierre-Luc Dubois followed closely behind.

The most surprising name on the list may be defenseman Scott Harrington, who had the highest selling jersey for a defenseman at the auction. The new owner of the jersey must have really enjoyed his days as a London Knight.
Which jersey would you want to add to your collection?
