Wheat Kings Relaunch Hockey Fights Cancer Week
February 14, 2022 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Brandon Wheat Kings News Release
Brandon, MB - The Brandon Wheat Kings are excited to announce the rescheduled dates for Hockey Fights Cancer week, culminating in a pair of games vs the Saskatoon Blades on February 23rd and 25th.
For the months of January and February, the Wheat Kings in partnership with Progressive Westman and Vionell Holdings turned all the Wheat Kings Fight apparel lavender, with all proceeds going to Cancer Care Manitoba.
Fans who have and continue to support the cause will be entered for a chance to win a pair of signed Pierre-Luc Dubois Winnipeg Jets game worn gloves, game used sticks from Winnipeg Jets stars Connor Hellebuyck, Mark Scheifele and Josh Morrisey and prize packs from the Wheat Kings and Howie's Hockey Tape.
The game nights will also feature special door prizes, live band, raffle items, lavender / pink food and drink specials and more!
In addition to the new lavender Wheat Kings Fight clothing line, the Wheat Kings will wear a special edition jersey during both games, presented by Vionell Holdings.
These sweaters will be auctioned off, with proceeds also going to Cancer Care Manitoba.
"It's been a number of years since we have done a Pink the Rink style sweater," added Crowe. "This year, we put a modern spin on it to line up with the NHL's Hockey Fights Cancer theme. Having our players submit names of family and friends is a special touch that means a lot to these families."
This one-of-a-kind design, produced by Brooks Freeman Design of Virden, features a custom Wheat Kings cancer ribbon logo, Vionell Holdings company logo shoulder patch and names submitted by players and staff of family and friends who have fought, or continue to fight their battle with cancer.
