January 6, 2009 - ECHL (ECHL)
Mississippi Sea Wolves News Release
BILOXI, MS - The Mississippi Sea Wolves announced at a press conference today the details of the team's second annual Pink In The Rink game, which will be held on February 7, 2009 when the Sea Wolves host the Cincinnati Cyclones at 7:05 p.m.
"We're very excited to announce that we are having a Pink In The Rink event this year," said Sea Wolves president Bill Yates. "Last year, we were able to raise over $20,000 that helped fund mammography for more than 170 local women through the Memorial Hospital Foundation's Sea Wolves Breast Cancer Imaging Fund, and we look forward to even greater success this year."
The Sea Wolves will wear special pink jerseys for the February 7, 2009 game against the Cincinnati Cyclones that will be auctioned off after the game. Additionally, goaltender Ryan Munce will wear a special goalie mask, donated by Tony Spriolo and Sportmask of Toronto, Ontario, that has been painted by local artist Jay Livery and will be auctioned off after the game.
Fans will be able to purchase pink Sea Wolves t-shirts and a limited number of replica pink jerseys will be available at the Sea Wolves merchandise stand on the concourse.
The proceeds of the sale of special Pink In The Rink merchandise as well as the jersey auction will benefit the Memorial Hospital Foundation's Sea Wolves Breast Cancer Imaging Fund, which helps pay for mammography and other forms of breast cancer imaging for those on the Mississippi Gulf Coast who cannot afford it.
