PITTSFORD, N.Y., Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pittsford JV and Varsity Hockey teams are proud to announce the 16th Annual Pink the Rink, a longstanding community tradition in support of the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester.

Since its inception in 2010, Pink the Rink has become a signature event for Pittsford Hockey, raising more than $121,000 to support local individuals and families navigating cancer. What began as a simple idea has grown into one of the most anticipated nights of the hockey season, bringing together players, families, sponsors, and fans for a meaningful cause.

The event was originally inspired by Celeste Frohm, a Friends of Pittsford Hockey Board Member, after watching her son participate in a similar fundraiser while playing collegiate hockey at the State University of New York at Fredonia. Her vision to combine the energy of high school hockey with community-driven philanthropy continues to shape the event more than a decade later.

Event Highlights

Attendees can look forward to an exciting and impactful evening, including:

• Back-to-back hockey games featuring Pittsford JV and Varsity teams vs. the Fairport Red Raiders
• Pink-themed uniforms worn by both teams
• Honor signs recognizing individuals who have battled cancer
• Chuck-A-Puck contests and additional fundraising activities
• Concessions and community spirit throughout the rink

Pink the Rink is more than a hockey event — it is a reminder of the power of sport to unite a community in support of something bigger than the game.

The Pittsford Hockey community invites fans, sponsors, and supporters to join them on January 31st as they look to make the 16th Annual Pink the Rink the most impactful one yet.
