Nova Jr. X-Men “Pink In The Rink”

Posted on February 14, 2012

Friday,  February 24th is a special day for the Nova Junior X-Men.  It’s not only the last home game of the regular season, but the team has deemed it “Pink In The Rink” night.  All proceeds from the door and 50/50 will be donated to the Canadian Liver Foundation and Cathy’s Place Cancer Resource Room at St. Martha’s Hospital, on behalf of the Poirier family of Cheticamp and the Currie/Smith family of Antigonish.  These causes hit home with the team, as one mother is suffering from cancer and another father sclerosis of the liver.

Learn more here, and join the Junior X-Men as they take on the MCK Ice Dawgs and great causes Friday the 24th at 7:00 at the Keating Centre.  Proudly supported by 989 XFM.
