Vermont Business Magazine For the fifteenth consecutive year, on Friday, February 10, the Castleton Women’s Ice Hockey Team will trade their traditional Spartan green apparel for newly designed, limited edition pink jerseys to raise awareness and funds for the Foley Cancer Center at Rutland Regional Medical Center.
The 15th annual Pink the Rink will pair the Spartans with Johnson and Wales University in an exciting match-up scheduled to begin at 6pm at the Spartan Arena.
Joining the festivities this year will be Boston Bruins national anthem singer Todd Angilly, a native of Warwick, Rhode Island, who has been the Bruins' primary anthem singer since 2019 and has performed the anthem at T.D. Garden as far back as 2017. Angilly's impressive resume includes performances of the national anthem for all five Boston professional sports teams.
"The Pink the Rink game is an important event for the Castleton University Women’s Ice Hockey Team and our local region,” said Head Coach Tim McAulliffe. “We are proud to continue to help raise awareness and support in the fight against breast cancer.”
All proceeds from tickets sales and a raffle at the event for an authentic Pink the Rink jersey will benefit the Foley Cancer Center at Rutland Regional Medical Center. Supporters may also bid on an authentic team-player jersey online at https://www.32auctions.com/PTR2023
In addition, there will be multiple baskets of goods auctioned as well as a bake sale at the event. And, once again Foley Services, Inc. will be giving away custom pink towels to the first 200 attendees.
Since the inception of the annual Pink the Rink event, close to $81,000 has been raised in support of the Foley Cancer Center. The cost of admission to the game on February 10 is $7 for adults, $4 for seniors and $2 for students.
“We continue to be grateful for the ongoing partnership and collaboration with Castleton University and the Women’s Hockey program in support of the Foley Cancer Center,” says Traci Moore, Senior Director of Development & Community Relations at Rutland Regional Medical Center. “The time that the coaches, players, parents and volunteers put into the game each year is considerable, and we are grateful for their efforts.”
