Saturday night, fans, students and faculty watched the Fredonia boy's hockey team turn the rink pink.

In Steele Hall on January 21, the 11th annual Pink the Rink charity game took place.

This year the event raised over $9,000 for the American Cancer Society of Western New York. Overall the total amount raised for the event is over $75,000. The crowd of nearly 800 paid between $7 and $2 for tickets which was put toward the donation.

The Blue Devils had a strong victory against Post University winning 15-1.

For each Pink the Rink match the Blue Devils have donated pink hockey jerseys and socks. The jerseys have the names of loved ones, groups, and others in their fight against all kinds of cancers.

I managed to talk to a few of the fans who were taking part in the game.

I first interviewed Jessica Kessler who was there with her sisters from her sorority she is a part of, Sigma Gamma Phi.

Jessica stated "I think that it is an incredible experience to watch the community come together to support and raise money for breast cancer."

It's safe to say that these kind of charity events really make an impact on the lives of others.

Another fan I interviewed was Daniel Luong who plays saxophone for the band. "It's great. I have played for this event before and it's always very exciting."

Overall the game was very exciting. If you're unable to attend the game there is also an option to watch online.

There were three total fights in the match and they were broken up quickly. The main fight was when Fredonia's goalie ended up being targeted and hit during the match.

Another interesting part of the match was when the puck flew into the stands and managed to hit a girl. She was not hurt badly and laughed about it after. She also got to keep the puck.

To keep the fans riled up staff were giving out free pizzas and shirts. It was a great way to make the game more enjoyable.

Overall the game was a great success and I'm sure next year's game is going to be even better.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
