Moncton Wildcats News Release
November 20th - Charity Bear Night:
The bears will be flying next Friday night when the Wildcats score this first goal against the PEI Rocket. It's Charity Bear night sponsored by Medavie Blue Cross.
A donation will buy you a Bear if you drop by the Wildcats office at the Coliseum. The annual Holiday event will see volunteers from Medavie Blue Cross collect the Bears and stuffed toys from the ice surface. The toys will be distributed to local charities by members of the Greater Moncton Progress Club.
Players to blitz downtown for Bears:
Look for the familiar jerseys of the Wildcats in the downtown Moncton area on November the 19th. The Cats will be blitzing businesses looking for Charity Bears. Employees of the downtown Moncton area are asked to bring their Bears to work and the Wildcats will be pleased to pick them up.
