After scoring five goals in an incredible three-game stretch during the 2024 Calder Cup Playoffs, Ivan Miroshnichenko is becoming quite a popular player in Hershey. So much so that the Hershey Bears are honoring the Russian forward with his first shirt, available exclusively in the Giant Center team store.

The team began selling the tees at the start of the Eastern Conference Finals and from what I observed during my visits, they’ve been a popular item. The tees were literally being grabbed off the rack as I was taking photos for this article as if it was toilet paper during the coronavirus pandemic.

On the front, the shirts read, I so happy. We go Cup. Win! Win! Win! with the team’s logo on the left chest. On the back, Miro’s name is placed over his number 10 like a shirsey.

The edited quote is from Miroshnichenko’s first English press conference with Hershey media at the podium after Game Two of the Atlantic Division Finals.

The 20-year-old left wing scored twice, including an electrifying highlight-reel goal that night.

The Bears produced two other quote shirts featuring popular veteran players, Dylan McIlrath and Mike Vecchione.
