Triangle Youth Hockey of NC Holds Benefit to Raise Cancer Awareness
The Triangle Youth Hockey Sharks held a Breast Cancer Awareness Event at the Triangle Sportsplex to benefit UNC’s Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center in memory of Leigh Young – the wife of our past President and long-time community volunteer at Triangle Youth Hockey of North Carolina – who died of Breast Cancer this past year.
The Sharks Squirt, Mite and Varsity teams donned pink jerseys as a visual reminder of how Breast Cancer has touched so many people in our community. The jerseys were donated by various sources, including HockeyCat.com for the Squirt team.
The Sharks organization has raised over $2000. The Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center provided Coach K signed items for a raffle. The Cedar Ridge Lacrosse Team, who after a long day of playing in at Triton in Erwin, NC, came out to cheer on the High School team in the 6 PM game. Tim Young made an appearance and accepted a special jersey with the number 5 and Young on the back.
