On Saturday, February 11th, the Wilmington boys’ hockey team will host Melrose at Ristuccia Memorial Arena at 4pm.

The hockey team will show its support for The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation by wearing pink game jerseys. “We have players on both varsity and JV teams impacted by breast cancer (moms)” said coach Steve Scanlon. “The Hockey has been a great escape and source of support for all of them.”

Wilmington, which started the season 8-3-3, has been rolling as of late led by senior captain Dalton Rolli (15 points).

“We’ve been playing great hockey” said Scanlon. “It will be a great night since our boys have a little something more to play for.”

Donations for “Pink in the Rink” can be made until the end of the game.
