HANOVER, N.H. -- This Friday the Dartmouth women’s hockey
team takes on Clarkson and will be participating in the second
annual Pink at the Rink to benefit the American Cancer Society and
promote cancer awareness. Fans who wear pink will be admitted to
the game for $1 and the first 100 fans will receive pink
T-shirts.
The 100 free Dartmouth Athletics T-shirts are courtesy of JMH
Wealth Management and in addition to the $1 admission, fans wearing
pink will also be placed in a raffle entry for a Norris Cotton
Cancer Center hope bracelet.
The successful Pink at the Rink developed by ECAC Hockey and the
American Cancer Society has entered its second season of activity
and in addition to the women’s game this weekend the program
will expand to include all ECAC Hockey men’s teams as well.
The variation of the Coaches vs. Cancer is a program originally
founded by the American Cancer Society and National Association of
Basketball Coaches.
This season’s program will also expand to include Hockey
Coaches Care, which is an organization committed to helping members
of the amateur hockey community in times of nee, as well as
organizations within the amateur hockey community that seek to
serve the best interests of its members.
Dartmouth is teaming up with its community and particularly the
Norris Cotton Cancer Center at its own Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical
Center. The Big Green is doing its part to raise awareness and lend
support to those fighting all cancers and recognize the work of
those who care for them. The Big Green players will be wrapping
their sticks with pink for warm ups and fans can bid on their
favorite Big Green skaters’ stick by going to
ecachockeycoachesvscancer.com.
The stick wraps will feature logos of all groups involved and the
players’ numbers. Bidding for the stick wraps will begin at
$75 each and this season there will be no “Buy It Now”
feature on the web site. Coaches will don pink neck-ties and
scarves that they will sign and be auctioned as well.
