"Pink The Rink 2019" is 100 days away.
The Fredonia men's hockey team has chosen Saturday, Feb. 9, 2019 for its annual event.
That evening the Blue Devils will take on Plattsburgh State in a SUNYAC game starting at 7 p.m. in Steele Hall Ice Arena. It's the 12th year for "Pink The Rink" and the 11th year the Blue Devils will wear and either sell or auction off their pink jerseys.
All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society.
The team is offering the same popular way for the jerseys to be purchased. Here's how it will work:
A donation of $250 per jersey will buy a jersey and allow the donor to place the name of a cancer survivor on the nameplate. Instead of having their own names on their jerseys, each of the Blue Devils will take to the ice that night representing the survivor whose jersey they will be wearing.
"This generous tribute to a loved one will be seen by all in attendance at the game," Fredonia Head Coach Jeff Meredithhas said in making this announcement each year. "We feel it will be an inspirational evening and are excited about joining in the fight against breast cancer."
The donor will receive the jersey from the player during a post-game on-ice ceremony.
To make arrangements to purchase a jersey, contact Coach Meredith at 716-673-3334 or meredith@fredonia.edu
