ORONO, Maine—Maine women's ice hockey is hosting its annual Skating Strides game on Saturday, Nov. 17 against Northeastern, with puck drop at 2 p.m.
 
This year's Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer game, sponsored by Consolidated Communications, includes commemorative pink jerseys worn by the team that will be auctioned off during the game.
 
Skating Strides has been a Hockey East initiative since January 2007. These games have raised over $300,000 for breast cancer charities across New England in that time, with all funds staying in-state for each school.
 
Funds raised by the Black Bears goes to the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing in Lewiston. Visit the Dempsey Center's website to learn more, or click here to donate.
