ECHL South Carolina Stingrays

Pink in the Rink Night Just Two Weeks Away

February 13, 2009 - ECHL (ECHL)
South Carolina Stingrays News Release


North Charleston, SC - The South Carolina Stingrays, ECHL affiliate of the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League and the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League, proudly announce the 3rd Annual Pink in the Rink Night on Saturday, Feb. 28th where the Stingrays will help raise money for the American Cancer Society. Last year's event raised over $13,000 for ACS.

Festivities for the night will begin late on Friday when, for the first time in Stingrays history, the ice will be painted pink! Tune into your local TV sports reports on Friday night to see the ice transition from white to pink.

Although the ice turns pink on Friday, the rest of the excitement starts Saturday night at 4 p.m. with Hockey 101 where Stingrays players will be demonstrating puck handling skills and teaching some of the basics of hockey. Hockey 101 is open to all individuals that have purchased a Pink Pack through the Stingrays front office. For just $30 you can purchase a Pink Pack that includes a ticket to the game, a specialty pink t-shirt (pictured left), and admittance into Hockey 101. Five dollars from every Pink Pack will be donated back to the American Cancer Society. Can't make it out to Hockey 101? Purchase a $25 Pink Pack, which includes a ticket to the game and the specialty pink t-shirt, and $3 from each of those packs will be donated back to the ACS. Both Pink Packs are currently on sale by calling the Stingrays front office at 744-2248. Also, additional t-shirts will be available to purchase with either Pink Pack for just $10. If you wish to purchase a Pick Pack, but do not need the ticket, you may donate any un-needed back to the Stingrays front office to bring out Cancer survivors to the game.

Following Hockey 101, your South Carolina Stingrays will be taking on the Mississippi Sea Wolves at 7:05 p.m. The Stingrays will be wearing specialty pink jerseys that will be auctioned off live after the game with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. In addition, a silent auction will be located outside Section 110 in the Coliseum during the game with proceeds from that event also going to ACS.

Come out and help support your South Carolina Stingrays and the American Cancer Society on Saturday, Feb. 28th. To purchase individual tickets to the event, please visit the Coliseum Box Office. A portion of each walk-up ticket will also be given back to the American Cancer Society.
