Rangers’ players took to the ice with specially designed lavender sticks on Friday, February 10th to raise awareness about cancer in our community and pay tribute to those who are dealing or who have dealt with the disease.

One set of sticks was available through a silent auction during the game versus Brampton while another set was available through an online auction at kitchenerrangers.com. The auction closed at 9:59pm on Friday, February 17th. Winners will be notified.

All proceeds will be donated to HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre.
