The U of M, Crookston Ice Hockey Club presented a check for $1600 to Susan G Komen for the Cure on Friday, April 30, 2010, in a special ceremony held in the Business Boardroom on the Crookston Campus. Representative from Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Colin Guidinger was on campus to accept the donation.  The money was raised through the auctioning of the pink jerseys the hockey players wore during a "Pink the Rink" hockey game earlier this year.  The Ice Hockey Club would like to thank everybody who supported the "Pink the Rink" fundraising effort.
