JERSEYS FOR A GOOD FIGHT
FRONTENACS WEAR PLAID JERSEYS TO BE AUCTIONED FOR HOCKEY FIGHTS CANCER
Fans of the Kingston Frontenacs will need to do
a double-take when the team takes to the ice
of Leon’s Centre for the game vs. Peterborough
tonight for the annual Hockey Fights Cancer game.
In support of the Canadian Cancer Society
and presented by Leon’s Kingston, the Kingston
Frontenacs are sporting a different type of black
and gold jersey—adding a plaid pattern—to draw
attention to cancers that affect dads.
Tonight’s game is the eighth consecutive season
the Frontenacs have partnered with the Canadian
Cancer Society to raise funds and awareness, and
this year’s cause hits close to home for the entire
club. The limited-edition jerseys—which will be
auctioned off after the game with the net proceeds
to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society’s programs,
include the first names of the dads
of the players, staff, management,
and owners of the club.
“We have a proud tradition of
supporting cancer causes and
raising awareness for different
types of cancers and focusing on
