CUW Hockey prepares to Pink the Rink
MEQUON, Wis. – The Concordia University Wisconsin men's and women's hockey programs will host the annual "Pink the Rink" weekend at the Ozaukee Ice Center this Friday and Saturday, February 1 and 2. The event will feature two games and the Falcons will wear pink jerseys with those jerseys.
The CUW women's hockey team will host its "Pink the Rink" game on Friday night against Adrian at 7:00 PM. The men's hockey program will play Saturday night at 7:00 against MSOE.
Both teams will raise money, with each program giving to a different organization. The men's team is set to continue a partnership with Angel on My Shoulder with all the funds going towards the organization.
"We are excited to again be partnering with Angel on My Shoulder for the fifth annual Pink the Rink night," men's hockey head coach Jasen Wise said. "There is nothing better than supporting a cause that is much bigger than all of us."
The women's team will donate the money raised at the Pink the Rink event to a local hospital and the money will go towards mammograms.
"Hosting pink the rink is a great event to bring awareness and raise some funds in the fight against cancer," said women's hockey head coach Steve Fabiilli. "Our student-athletes have really rallied around this cause and hope to have a positive impact on our community"
The main source of funds for the programs will be jersey sales. The pink Concordia University Wisconsin hockey jerseys can be purchased at the games this weekend. Jerseys can also be purchased by contacting either Jasen Wise (Jasen.Wise@cuw.edu) or Steve Fabiilli (Stephen.Fabiilli@cuw.edu).
The new women's jerseys can be purchased for $100, or $105 with shipping. The Falcons will also be selling past jerseys for $50.
The men's will be selling previous years Pink the Rink jerseys for $50 and the 2018 jerseys for $100. In addition, the 2019 Senior Class pink jerseys from this season and a photo can be purchased for $150.
