Our Girls High School Hockey Team- The Northern Tier Stars High School- Co-op of St. Francis, Cambridge Isanti, and North Branch Area High Schools is having a "Hockey Fights Cancer" Night at its Tuesday, Jan. 28, game at East Bethel Ice Arena - Northern Tier Stars vs. Princeton - JV 5:15 and Varsity. If you are interested in purchasing a t-shirt or hoodie, please click this link (https://forms.gle/uxfQCtCiFdfVbk3n9) or scan to place your order and send your payment to either:
Joe Fredrickson at SFHS or, Heidi Sanders at SFMS.
Proceeds will be donated to furthering cancer research. Come to the event and fill out a "I Fight For..." to honor someone you know who has, or is currently fighting cancer.
The hockey community is more than a sport—it's a family. And like most families, many of us have been touched by cancer in some way. To honor those affected and bring awareness to the fight against this disease, the Northern Tier Stars are hosting a special "Hockey Fights Cancer" event.
Show your support by ordering exclusive event apparel. Each purchase helps us raise awareness and stand united in support of the individuals and families impacted by cancer. Together, as a hockey family, we can make a difference—one shift at a time.
Come to the game and honor who you fight for by completing a support sign as well.
COMPLETE THE FORM MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ADDITIONAL ORDERS. Full payment needs to be turned in by Sunday, Dec. 8 to Heidi Sanders or Alicia Overby. Checks made out to "Redliners" add $5 additional for PayPal.
