The Pittsford JV and Varsity Hockey teams are proud to announce the 15th Annual Pink the Rink event, a cherished community tradition in support of the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester. This year’s games will take place on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at the Tim Hortons Iceplex, where Pittsford will host back-to-back games against the Victor Blue Devils.

Both teams will incorporate pink into their game-day attire as a symbol of solidarity in the fight against breast cancer. Net proceeds from this special evening will be donated to the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, continuing a legacy of generosity and community impact.

Since its inception in 2010, Pink the Rink has grown into a signature event for Pittsford Hockey, raising over $105,000 to date. Last year alone, the event generated $14,500 through corporate sponsorships, admission proceeds, T-shirt sales, Chuck-A-Puck contests, honor sign sponsorships, and game-day collections.

The tradition began 15 years ago, thanks to the vision of Celeste Frohm, a dedicated Friends of Pittsford Hockey Board Member. Inspired by a similar event she witnessed at the State University of New York at Fredonia, Frohm helped create a community fundraiser that has since become a highlight of the hockey season, creating lasting memories for players, families, and fans.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

Attendees can look forward to an exciting night, including:

  • Back-to-Back Hockey Games featuring Pittsford JV and Varsity teams against the Victor Blue Devils
  • A performance by the Pittsford High School Pep Band
  • Chuck-A-Puck Contest with fantastic prizes
  • A variety of concessions
  • Teams showing support with pink-themed uniforms

Pink the Rink is more than just hockey; it’s about community, compassion, and making a difference. Whether you’re cheering from the stands, sponsoring a sign, or tossing a puck for prizes, your participation helps fuel hope and support for those affected by breast and gynecologic cancers.

Join us for this special evening as we aim to set new records and make the 15th Annual Pink the Rink the most impactful one yet.

Over $100,000 Raised for the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester

Pink the Rink has been a Pittsford School District tradition since 2010 and has raised approximately $105,000 for the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester. This annual event began when Friends of Pittsford Hockey Board Member, Celeste Frohm, proposed the idea for Pink the Rink after watching her son play in a similar event at the State University of New York at Fredonia. Frohm believed it would be an effective way to bring the Pittsford community together for a worthy cause.

“Pink the Rink invites the entire Pittsford Central School District community and their families to come together for some fun in support of a great cause,” explained Pittsford Central School District Superintendent, Michael Pero. “Fostering a spirit in our students of giving back through longstanding traditions such as Pink the Rink help make our students better citizens of the world.”

It was a win for Pittsford Hockey and a win for breast cancer awareness at the 14th annual Pink the Rink hockey games on January 20, 2024, which raised $9,000 to support the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester.

Donning their iconic pink jerseys, the Panthers defeated Victor Blue Devils in an exciting and fast paced game that ended with a score of 7-5 and marked the 250th win for Coach Steve Thering.

The event has raised a total of $100,000 towards education, support, and advocacy of breast cancer research since the start of the tradition in 2010.
