Join us and the American Cancer Society as we will have these Making Strides signs and fill in who you are there for. We will be asking everyone in the stands to hold them at the end of the games for a photo and we can share the picture on here to show all who were there to support the Pink in the Rink!

Find the cure cup will be given to the players of the winning team. Each player will have a day with the cup and their names will be engraved on the cup.
