As a team, it's important for our young athletes to actively engage in a meaningful cause that directly benefits those in our own community. This year, the U12A team is choosing to support the Canadian Cancer Society through our participation in the Hockey Fights Cancer Campaign for the months of November and December.
Some of you may not be aware that one of our very own, Todd Roes has been fighting a three year battle against terminal lung cancer. For the month of November, in honour of Todd, and the millions of Canadians fighting cancer, the U12A team will be taping their sticks in white and every player will wear a white cancer ribbon sticker on their helmet.
This small gesture signifies our collective commitment to this vital cause and our solidarity with those confronting cancer's challenges.
Erin Roes has launched our team campaign online. We're setting an ambitious goal, but we're confident with everyone's effort to share the team link on social media with family, friends, co-workers and local businesses that we can achieve this goal together.
Please encourage other Woolwich teams to join our campaign as well! Let's see what we can accomplish together!
