ELMIRA, N.Y. – The nationally No.3-ranked Elmira College women’s ice hockey team will hold a special “Pink in the Rink” event Saturday, January 14, at 7 p.m. in conjunction with the Soaring Eagles' Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) West game with the Neumann University Knights. For this game only, Elmira will trade-in its gold jerseys to wear special pink jerseys, which will be sold to raise funds for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

The event will feature various opportunities for fans to support breast cancer awareness, including the purchase of raffle tickets for themed gift baskets and game-worn Elmira hockey jerseys. There will also be a free public skating session and the opportunity for all fans in attendance who wish to skate with the EC women’s hockey team, have their pictures taken and receive autographs from the players.

Fan donations will be greatly appreciated in support of breast cancer awareness at this game. In addition, there will be an admission charge for this home contest of $5 for adults and $3 for students and children.  All proceeds for this game will benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Anyone interested in purchasing the special event Elmira hockey jerseys may contact Coach Greg Fargo at (607) 735-1837 or gfargo@elmira.edu. Please come out to the Murray Athletics Center to enjoy great hockey and support a great cause. Fans are encouraged to wear pink and join Elmira Women’s Hockey in support of Pink in the Rink.
