Syracuse University’s Women’s Hockey Team has almost completed their inaugural season. As they won their sixth straight game over the weekend, they were also skating for a cause. The SU women chose Friday’s game to take part in the College Hockey of America Conference’s Skate for the Cure.
Skate for the Cure is an event that raises money for cancer awareness, and is an annual event that teams in the CHA Conference take part in. Each team chooses at least one home game to raise money for the charity. The money donated is pooled and given to a chosen charity, and this year the women chose to donate to cancer research.
This was an opportunity for the team to give back to the community and all those affected by cancer. The event also helped bring extra fans to the stadium.
Kristen Smith and Will Elkins are hockey fans who, when they found out about Friday’s event “definitely wanted to go.”
Kathleen Twomey, the captain of St. Anslems, SU’s opponent Friday, says, “I think [the event] is great. I think our team should do something like this back home. I really like how they wore pink. I wish we could do that. I think it’s nice.”
The SU women wore pink laces and used pink hockey sticks in the spirit of supporting breast cancer awareness, while fans also wore pink.
SU women’s hockey has already had what fans call a successful season.
Dan Rapaport, a SU Fan, says, “they can really challenge in the division. They can take the CHA next year.”
