Nov 18, 2022 | 10:17 AM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – The U17 AAA Medicine Hat Tigers are playing a charity game against the Okotoks Oilers in support of cancer awareness.

The team will be wearing custom jerseys that will represent the different forms of cancer they are trying to raise awareness for, and Okotoks will be taping their sticks the different colours as well.

Bob Ridley, the long-time voice of the Medicine Hat Tigers, will do the ceremonial puck drop prior to the game at the Moose Recreation Centre on Nov. 20 at 5:30 p.m.

The players are gathering Friday evening to make caramel/chocolate popcorn bags that will be sold during the game, and their jerseys will be auctioned off at the end.

In addition to the contributions from the players and team, there will as well be a silent auction with other donations, as well as a 50/50.
