It will be an emotional evening at the Dryden Memorial Arena Saturday night. (October 25th)
The Dryden GM Ice Dogs are preparing for their annual Pink the Rink game.
All proceeds will go towards the Oncology Unit at the Dryden Regional Health Centre.
Goaltender Jacob Anthony says they are excited to hit the ice for an important cause.
“Last year the rink was phenomenal. All of the fans were going and it brought a lot of energy to the team and I’m really, really excited to get it going this year. It has a little personal meaning this year so I hope we can pull out a win. I know it means a lot to everybody and it should be a good game.
Anthony says the players had an opportunity to visit the hospital this past week to meet with cancer patients.
“It was nice to get a perspective on things of what you’re playing for. Being in there, it was tough, because just seeing how much they are fighting and how much their life has changed. It’s awful to see what they going through and it’s nice to be able to do something, even if it’s small, to donate to them (cancer patients).”
Anthony will unveil his new special mask at the game.
“I had all the kids in grade 1 to 3, across Dryden. I put in a contest, design a mask for me and I wanted to pick one that meant something to me and picked the best one.”
Anthony says a young man named Brantley from New Prospect School is the winner.
The game will feature fundraising opportunities as well as special acknowledgments.
Game time between Dryden GM and Red Lake is 7:30pm.
