Jordan Harding, Senior Manager of Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer, emphasized the value of the partnership with the Steelheads. “The Princess Margaret Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer program is grateful to partner with the Brampton Steelheads and their community of fans in support of breast cancer research at The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre,” Harding said. “Their participation with our organization played a part in helping us raise $3.17 million this year. On behalf of all of us here at The Princess Margaret, thank you.”
Before the game, the Steelheads will hold a special ceremony to honor cancer survivors and those still fighting the disease. As part of the tradition, the players will wear unique pink jerseys, which will be auctioned off on DASH to raise additional funds for cancer research.
Fans attending the game are encouraged to wear pink to show solidarity with individuals affected by cancer. Proceeds from the event will support breast cancer research and other critical initiatives at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
Tickets for the game are available through the Steelheads’ official website.
The annual Pink in the Rink event has become a significant community-driven effort to raise awareness and contribute to the fight against cancer.
