PENTICTON, B.C. – Get ready to “Pink the Rink.” The Penticton Vees Hockey Club is excited to announce the eighth annual Pink the Rink night on Friday, February 10th, against the Coquitlam Express at the South Okanagan Events Centre (SOEC).
The game is once again sponsored by COBS Bread Bakery and the Vees will wear special pink jerseys for the Anti-Bullying night. The pink jerseys are set to be auctioned off online following the game.
Fans are encouraged to wear pink as well. Pink Vees merchandise is now available in the Blue Zone.
“Our Pink the Rink night helps spread awareness for the Anti-Bullying movement in our community,” began Vees’ Director of Ticketing, Amanda Lysohirka. “This game is a great opportunity to come together to promote healthy self-esteem in our schools, playgrounds, homes and online.”
Local elementary schools have been invited to the game, and COBS Bread Bakery is giving away a $500 prize in a school spirit cheering contest during the first intermission. There is special group rate pricing for elementary students’ families and friends, as part of a school ticket fundraising initiative.
The game on February 10th, also marks the return of former Vees’ Assistant Coach, Patrick Sexton. Sexton is in his first year as the Head coach of the Express. Sexton helped guide the Vees to a Fred Page Cup championship last season.
Tickets for Pink the Rink night can be purchased at the Valley First Box Office at the SOEC, as well as online at valleyfirsttix.com.
