Pink The Rink Game Set For Nov. 13
Oct. 9, 2009
The Falcon women's hockey team will host a Pink The Rink game on Nov. 13.
The Falcons will play their second home game of the season on Nov. 13 when they host Gustavus Adolphus at 7:05 p.m., at Hunt Arena.
"We are supporting Breast Cancer Awareness and will be selling Pink The Rink t-shirts with all the proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Foundation," said UWRF Assistant Arena Director, Ben Fraser. "We are encouraging fans to either wear pink or buy a t-shirt to try and "Pink the Rink" for the Gustavus game."
The UWRF-GAC series has been a classic matchup of highly ranked teams in the past couple of seasons.
On Jan. 25 last season the Gusties took a 5-3 win over the Falcons in St. Peter, Minn. But the Falcons came back on March 14 to beat the Gusties, 2-1, in the first round of the NCAA playoffs. Gustavus holds an 11-3-1 lead in the all-time series.
UWRF won last year's NCHA regular season and playoff championships. The Falcons finished 20-7-3 overall and 15-2-1 in NCHA play and played in the NCAA Finals in Middlebury, Vt.
The Falcons, with 17 returning letter winners, open the 2009-10 season on Nov. 6 with a game at St. Thomas that will start at 7 p.m.
