The Manitoba Moose are proud to welcome Cindy Klassen, Winnipeg native and Multiple-Medal Winner at the World Speed Skating Championships in Germany last month, to the game between the Moose and Hamilton Bulldogs on Sunday, April 10th at 2:00 p.m. at the MTS Centre.

Klassen will drop the puck at a ceremonial face-off prior to the game between the Moose and Bulldogs. The 25-year old recovered from a severe arm injury in 2004 and went on to capture a silver and bronze medal at the 2004 World Speed Skating Championships. Then in Germany, Klassen won two gold medals and a silver medal at the 2005 World Championships. Back in 2003, Klassen became the first Canadian in 27 years to win the overall title at the World Speed Skating Championships. She won a bronze medal back at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
