Click Here For A Video Message From David Clarkson
The Kitchener Rangers have teamed up with former Ranger and current New Jersey Devil David Clarkson to run a program called “Clarky’s Kids”.
Clarky’s Kids” provides children from Grand River Hospital’s POGO (Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario) Satellite Centre the opportunity to experience the excitement of a Kitchener Rangers game and visit with players and coaches in and out of the hospital. As well, this program continues to raise funds that aid in the support of local families and siblings dealing with a child that has cancer.
It’s great to be able to come back and support a community that supported me when I played here.”
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to making Clarky’s Kids a huge success. The community has embraced this program whole heartedly and together we have brought happiness to children living with cancer in our region.

The clinic located at Grand River Hospital is one of six POGO satellite oncology clinics in the Province of Ontario set up to deliver cancer care closer to home. POGO and the staff work closely with the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto and the Children`s Hospital of Western Ontario, London.
The clinic is staffed by registered nurses who work closely with other departments within the K-W Health Centre to coordinate care for the children.
