Hockey team begins Pink The Rink jersey sales
The Fredonia State hockey team has chosen Friday, Feb. 8, 2013, for its seventh annual Pink The Rink game. That night, the Blue Devils will take on Cortland in a SUNYAC regular-season game beginning at 7 p.m. at the Steele Hall Ice Arena. This season the team is offering the same, popular way for the jerseys to be purchased.
Again, the Blue Devils will don their pink jerseys and socks for the game and once again the authentic, game-worn jerseys will be for sale with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.
Here's how it works.
For the cost $250, individuals or groups can purchase a jersey and have the last name of a loved one printed on the back -- a personalized loving tribute every time their player takes the ice.
When the game is over, the people buying the jersey will be invited down onto the ice to receive the jersey from the player who wore it that night.
Previous Past Pink The Rink tributes have been made to husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, co-workers, sorority sisters, entire families, people from all walks of life. It makes for a truly inspirational and emotional evening.
