Pittsford High School Hockey's 16th Annual Pink the Rink Night

Pittsford High School’s Junior Varsity and Varsity hockey teams are excited to announce the upcoming 16th Annual Pink the Rink Night, a cherished community event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester. This much-anticipated occasion will take place on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at the Tim Hortons Iceplex. The festivities will kick off at 5:30 p.m. with consecutive games against the Fairport Red Raiders.

A Tradition Rooted in Community and Compassion

Since its inception in 2010, Pink the Rink has grown into a defining annual event for the Pittsford Hockey program, contributing over $121,000 to support local families facing the challenges of cancer. The origins of this initiative can be traced back to Celeste Frohm, a member of the Friends of Pittsford Hockey Board. Her inspiration came after witnessing her son participate in a similar fundraising event during his collegiate hockey career. This vision has since evolved into a vibrant celebration of community spirit and support.

A Visible Show of Solidarity

On this special night, both teams will wear jerseys infused with shades of pink, serving as a powerful symbol of solidarity for those impacted by breast and gynecologic cancers. Every ticket purchased will help fund the efforts of the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, making it much more than just a hockey event — it’s an evening focused on compassion and unity.

• - General Admission Tickets: $5
• - Event T-Shirts: $20

Digital tickets will be available for purchase starting Monday, January 19, through the Pink the Rink official website. For those who prefer to secure their seats on game day, tickets will also be sold at the entrance, contingent on availability.
