What initially started as a modest idea has evolved into one of the season's highlights, drawing together players, their families, supporters, and sponsors for a significant cause.
The Journey of Pink the Rink
The event owes its inception to Celeste Frohm, a dedicated member of the Friends of Pittsford Hockey Board.

Combining the energy of high school hockey with philanthropy, she has ensured that this event continues to grow and inspire community unity.

Support and Sponsorship Opportunities
The success of Pink the Rink is made possible by the generosity of local families and businesses.

Every dollar raised will help the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester.
