OWHA Sanction #1617004 Burlington Barracudas Bantam A Pink the Rink VI • 2015 Pink the Rink VII • October 14-16, 2016 | i GAME DAY A CHANCE TO CELEBRATE YOUR VICTORIES AND IGNORE YOUR LOSSES ii | Etobicoke Dolphins Girls Hockey League October 14, 2016 On behalf of the tournament team, we would like to welcome all of the hockey players and their families to Pink the Rink VII. We would like to personally acknowledge the many teams that have travelled long distances to participate … including teams from the United States, Northern Ontario and Eastern Ontario! Your continued support is greatly appreciated. The Etobicoke Dolphins are thrilled to be hosting this event. Now in our 7th year, the tournament is welcoming close to 200 teams and more than 4000 players, coaches, trainers, and managers. We are very proud of our organization and our community and we hope everyone enjoys their time here - both in and out of the arenas. Our tournament objectives are two fold: • To increase awareness and support for breast cancer. This tournament will help to support individuals who are currently undergoing treatment through the Canadian Breast Cancer Support Fund. • To brighten the prospects for female minor hockey by raising the profile of the sport in Canada’s largest city … inviting teams from everywhere to come to Toronto and compete for the love of the sport. This year we are very excited about hosting this event and we try our best to make it a memorable weekend for everyone involved. Many individuals have worked very hard to bring this event to life – especially members of our tournament team – who have dedicated countless hours to make this weekend possible. In addition, we would like to thank our executive members and all of our volunteers, partners, sponsors, and supporters, particularly the Mastercard Centre for Hockey Excellence, Canlan Ice Sports, the City of Toronto, the Toronto Furies, Bauer Hockey and MLSE. We are grateful to our scheduling committee for taking on the very complex task of recruiting and scheduling officials for the tournament. Also thank you to all of the on and off-ice officials. Good luck to all participants and thank you for coming to Etobicoke! If there is any way that we can make your experience here better please let us know. Deb & Marilyn Tournament Directors Pink the Rink VII EDGHL Pink the Rink VII • October 14-16, 2016 | 1 Welcome to our fabulous Pink the Rink VII Girls Hockey Tournament! We are so very pleased to have all of you here helping us support this ever growing issue with so many families today. As a Breast Cancer survivor I can honestly say how wonderful it is to see such amazing support from our hockey communities. They say it’s a big world, but really it’s not, and unfortunately this disease affects all of us in some way, shape or form. Your support this weekend will help the Canadian Breast Cancer Support Fund provide assis- tance to those currently undergoing treatment for Breast Cancer. Through your continued support, the Etobicoke Dolphins have been able to raise more than $25,000 for the CBCSF to date. We look forward to another successful tournament, and we hope you have as much fun playing here as we did planning it. See you at the rink... Debbie Marilyn Debbie Boncheff Marilyn Rath Breast Cancer Team Breast Cancer Team Pink the Rink VII Pink the Rink VII There are two sides to every story about breast cancer. For most, the story is about pink ribbons and working towards a future where it doesn’t exist. But that’s just one side of the story and it’s not ours. Ours is a story of breast cancer patients struggling to pay for food and shelter, parking and medication. Ours is the all too common story of struggling, not to survive, but to afford to survive. And it’s a story we’re here to change. We provide breast cancer patients with the short term financial support they need to focus, simply and solely on fighting their disease. Join us, and support women in their greatest time of need. A heartfelt thank you to the Etobicoke Dolphins Girls Hockey league for supporting us again this year and to all of the teams for their support and participation in another amazing hockey tournament for young women. On behalf of the community of women we serve, we thank you for you generous support. www.cbcsf.ca @cbcsf_ca #SupportTheGirls Charity Registration #83661 2804 RR0001 2 | Etobicoke Dolphins Girls Hockey League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͕ &ROOHHQ0XLVH 3UHVLGHQW(WRELFRNH'ROSKLQV Pink the Rink VII • October 14-16, 2016 | 3 Some behind the scenes pics from Pink the Rink VI • 2015 Etobicoke Atom AA Pink the Rink VI • 2015 Mississauga Chiefs Atom A Pink the Rink VI • 2015 Chicago Young Americans U12 Pink the Rink VI • 2015 4 | Etobicoke Dolphins Girls Hockey League Welcome from the President :HOFRPHHYHU\RQHWRWKHWK$QQXDO(WRELFRNH Welcome everyone'ROSKLQV3LQNWKH5LQN7RXUQDPHQW to the 7th Annual Etobicoke Dolphins Pink the Rink Tournament.
