Kitchener Rangers News Release


Many children ranging in age from infant to 16 years within our region along with their families deal with Childhood cancer on a daily basis.

The Kitchener Rangers have teamed up with former Ranger and current New Jersey Devil David Clarkson to launch a program called Clarky's Kids.

Clarky's Kids will provide children from Grand River Hospital's POGO (Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario) Satellite Centre the opportunity to experience the excitement of a Kitchener Rangers game. Clarky's Kids will welcome these children starting September 26 and running throughout the 2008-09 season.

From 2002 to 2005 Clarkson spent countless hours supporting local community programs. His goodwill and commitment to both the team and the region have inspired numerous people of all ages. He was honoured with the Ted Scharf Award in 2002-03 and 2003-04 for being the Kitchener Rangers Humanitarian of the Year.

"It's great to be able to come back and support a community that supported me when I played here." - David Clarkson

Join us when the Kitchener Rangers host the Owen Sound Attack on Friday, September 26 as we welcome Grand River Hospital's POGO Satellite Centre Staff and Children.

Friday, September 26, 2008 Kitchener Rangers VS Owen Sound Attack Game time: 7:30 pm
