==============================================================================================
The College of the Holy Cross community came together in support of a worthy cause last week, as the Men's and Women's Hockey teams took to the ice for the annual "Pink the Rink" event at the Luth Athletic Center.

During the hockey games, spectators were encouraged to wear special edition Holy Cross pink beanies, which were sold at the entrance, raising money for the cause. The hockey coaches pledged to donate $1 to Breast Cancer research for every Holy Cross student who attended the games. In addition, a heartwarming video was displayed on the Jumbotron during the intermission, featuring the hockey players holding the name of a personal connection to cancer and who they fight for every day.
The Men's Hockey team clinched a dramatic overtime victory, with junior forward Matt DeBoer scoring the game-winning goal. Meanwhile, the Women's Hockey team also secured a win against the University of Maine, thanks to a goal scored by senior defensewoman Carmen Elliott in overtime.
