2023-24 Hockey Fights Cancer Jersey Auction in Support of the Twinkie Foundation February 10th

Soo Greyhounds News Release


The Soo Greyhounds Hockey Club is pleased to announce that their 2024 "Hockey Fights Cancer" game night, presented by Northside Auto Group, will take place on Saturday, February 10th when they host the Niagara Ice Dogs at 7:07 PM.

As part of the Hockey Fights Cancer game night, the Greyhounds will be wearing custom designed jerseys that will be auctioned off after the game in support of the Twinkie Foundation. This season, rather than wearing a traditional pink or purple jersey, the Hockey Fights Cancer jersey will feature a gold design, representing support of Childhood and Adolescent cancer.

The Twinkie Foundation helps alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with having a child with medical issues. It is a much-needed resource in Sault Ste. Marie for families who have to travel out of town with their sick children to receive medical treatment. The foundation was created by a local couple who, through personal experience, came to learn that there was a need for this type of assistance in our community. Funds raised by the Foundation are provided to families for costs associated with travel including meal allowances, fuel, taxis, parking, and accommodations.

Bidding on the game-worn Hockey Fights Cancer jerseys is OPEN NOW, to place a bid please complete the form at the bottom of this page. Online bidding will be open until Sunday, February 11th at 11:59 PM.

In person bidding will be available at the games on February 10th and 11th.

In addition to the Hockey Fights Cancer jersey auction, fans can also support the cause by purchasing a limited-edition Hockey Fights Cancer t-shirt. T-shirts are $29.99+HST with $5 from every purchase going towards the fundraising campaign. Hockey Fights Cancer t-shirts can be purchased from the Hound Pound or online at https://hound-pound-soo-greyhounds-hockey-club.shoplightspeed.com/hfc-t-shirts-2024.html

On behalf of our entire organization, we invite our friends, families, neighbours, and community members to join us for this year's Hockey Fights Cancer event.

Tickets for the game are on-sale now at the SK Group Box Office located inside GFL Memorial Gardens during regular business hours of 10 AM to 5 PM Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 2 PM Saturday, 10 AM through game time on game days or online anytime at www.gflgardens.ca.
