Thorold Jr. B Blackhawks

The Thorold Jr. B Blackhawks wear special-edition jerseys in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.

Playing With Heart” is a phrase often used by coaches to describe the qualities they are looking for in their players.

In the case of the Thorold Jr. B Blackhawks it could describe the whole team. On Sunday night at the King Street Ice Palace, they demonstrated those qualities in more ways than one, by both outworking the Welland Jr. Canadians in a 3-0 victory and donning special edition jerseys in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.

The hot-pink numbered jerseys are certainly attention-grabbing, which is a great thing as the team is also asking for the public’s support in raising funds to fight the disease. They have been wearing the jerseys throughout October to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month and if you wish to lend your support you may do so by attending their games in person of course, or may contact the team through its website, www.thoroldblackhawks.com

Obviously it is their hope that along with breast cancer, their opponents too will be beaten. Here is wishing them the best on both counts.

The Fort Erie Meteors joined forces with the Blackhawks recently by auctioning off special game-worn jerseys, raising awareness and proceeds when they squared off against each other in Fort Erie last week. The Niagara Falls Canucks will do likewise when Thorold comes to town this Friday evening and the Canucks will also be repping pink jerseys.
