Tonight, We Wear Pink
January 31, 2020 - Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Niagara IceDogs News Release
Just in case you may have forgotten, tonight is our annual Pink in the Rink game! The game is in partnership with the Canadian Cancer Society, Niagara Branch. All funds raised from the game will be donated to CCS Niagara, with a focus on women's cancers.
The team will be wearing specialty pink jerseys, as they have for the past 12 seasons, to commemorate the partnership. For the first time ever, the pink jerseys will don the names of player's and fan's loved ones who have been affected by cancer. All game worn jerseys will be auctioned live post-game, through Luke's Auctions. The auction will take place in Sec 105 and bidding will start at $200.
In addition to the game worn jerseys, we will also have game-issued jerseys that were to be worn by Kyen Sopa, Phil Tomasino, and Akil Thomas. This is your last chance to get a piece of IceDogs merchandise with their names on them. We can also arrange to have the jerseys signed.
In addition to the jersey auction, the Niagara IceDogs will have commemorative 2020 Pink in the Rink memorabilia on sale, with all funds being donated to the CCS, in Niagara.
As you may have seen last night, we have black and grey t-shirts with the same ribbon along the centre of the jersey are being sold on the concourse for $10.00 each. The t-shirts are available for purchase, while quantities last. T-shirts will be available in sizes Youth - Adult (S-XXXL).
Commemorative pink mystery pucks will also be sold on the concourse for $5.00 each tonight. Every puck will be signed by a member of the IceDogs in black, however select mystery pucks will be signed in silver. Anyone who selects a silver signed puck will win a prize to be redeemed at the jersey raffle table. Prizes include a 2015-16 team signed pink stick, a signed IceDogs jersey, and other items. A coin collection will also take place during stoppages in play in the first period.
