The Soo Greyhounds are playing their Hockey Fights Cancer OHL game on Friday, Feb. 21 at home against the Guelph Storm.
As part of this special evening the Greyhounds will wear custom-designed sweaters that will be auctioned off following the game to support the Sault Area Hospital Foundation's Algoma District Cancer Program.
“We are incredibly grateful for the continued partnership of the Soo Greyhounds and their commitment to the Hockey Fights Cancer initiative,” said Teresa Martone, executive director of the Sault Area Hospital Foundation, in a news release.
“This past summer, our community faced the challenge of travelling for cancer care while radiation treatment equipment at Sault Area Hospital was upgraded.
"With the installation of the new Linear Accelerator, which resumed service in August 2024, our hospital can once again provide local radiation treatment. Thanks to the generous support of our community and partners like the Soo Greyhounds, we can continue funding the vital medical equipment that ensures exceptional care in the Algoma District Cancer Program.”
Bidding for the game-worn Hockey Fights Cancer jerseys will open on Feb. 19 and run through March 1. Fans will also have the opportunity to bid on Hockey Fights Cancer locker plates. To place a bid, visit this page.
In addition to the auction, fans can show their support by purchasing a limited-edition Hockey Fights Cancer T-shirt. Available for $24.99 + HST, $5 from every purchase will be donated to the fundraising campaign. T-shirts can be purchased at the Hound Pound or online.
