TPS HOCKEY’S TRIBUTE TO HOCKEY MOMS SUPPORTS BREAST CANCER RESEARCH
Tribute takes place March 17,18,19, 2006 |
Wallaceburg, ON – TPS Hockey announced today that the first-ever Tribute to Hockey Moms will take place March 17,18,19, 2006 with all proceeds going to breast cancer research. More than 200 NHL hockey players will take to the ice with pink hockey sticks carrying the breast cancer logo during the hockey weekend. The specially designed TPS sticks will be used for practices, pre-game warm-ups and throughout the games.
Rick Nash of the Columbus Blue Jackets comments: “It was my Mom who was always in the background making sure I had everything I needed to succeed and I can’t thank her enough. Maybe this will let her know that I do appreciate everything she has done for me and the money raised will go to a great cause that every Mom is well aware of.” Added Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers, “This is a great cause and I know Moms around the world will love the fact that we are acknowledging them for everything they do for us.”
Wayne Gretzky, coach and owner of the Phoenix Coyotes, when told of this first-time tribute reflected, “My Mom was the glue that held our family together and this would be a great tribute to her and to a great cause.”
“The response to this project by the NHL players has been overwhelming” says Brad Janson, Director of Pro Hockey for TPS. “They are all very receptive and excited to do this for their Moms and for breast cancer research and TPS Hockey is proud to support this tribute. This is the first ever event of this nature and we plan on making this an annual event going forward.”
The limited edition hockey sticks will be autographed by the NHL players and auctioned off at local and national fund raising events in support of breast cancer research. |
