The Campbell River Minor Hockey Association’s female program raised more than $7,100 during its Hockey Fights Cancer Day on Nov. 29.
All games were played on Rink 2 at Strathcona Gardens and featured the U11, U13, U15 and U18 girls’ teams.
Players took to the ice in specially designed jerseys, accented with purple socks and lavender tape on their sticks to show support for cancer awareness.
Chad Braithwaite, female director for the CRMHA, said he is very thankful for the people who helped make the jerseys possible.
“I want to thank Kevin Lance of El Toro Contracting, Charlie Walcot from Walcot Industries and Bobby Chandhok from Griffin Restorations, as well as Fitness Etc., for purchasing the commemorative jerseys,” Braithwaite said. “Thanks to Don Dawson from Double D Sportswear in Victoria for manufacturing the jerseys in a timely fashion.”
The organization’s initial goal was to raise $5,000.
