Michigan Warriors News Release


On Friday October 29, the Michigan Warriors held their annual Breast Cancer Awareness game, as they played host to the Motor City Metal Jackets, in front of an excited crowd of 1,742 hockey fans at Perani Arena in Flint Mi.

The Warriors won the game on the ice and then made a successful contribution off it. During the game against the Metal Jackets, the Warriors wore special Pink jersey's which were later auctioned off to fans in attendance at the game. Proceeds from the auction as well as from ticket sales from the Oct 29 game will be donated to the Susan G Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Awareness.

Also during the month of October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness month across the globe, Warriors players also used pink tape on their sticks during the teams games, to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness.

The Michigan Warriors partnered with the JB Austin companies, who made a $6.00 donation per game for each Warriors player who used pink tape on their sticks for each game in October, to help raise money and awareness to fight the battle against Breast Cancer.

The Michigan Warriors would like to thank all the fans who attended the game, and especially those who stayed after and attended the jersey auction, which was held on the ice after the game. The Warriors are already making plans for next season's Breast Cancer event to be even more successful and spectacular.
