Yanno, normally I don’t feel the need to say “hey, you need to get out to a game” because we don’t have huge issues with attendance here (despite what some continue to think).

But this coming Monday is different. Monday is “Hockey Fights Cancer Night” at the RBC, and the Hurricanes are offering a special incentive for the fans.

Buy a ticket to Monday’s game and get up to $10 off the gate price.  Even I can afford that. But more importantly, up to $5 a ticket will be donated to one of the following cancer-related charities as part of the “Hockey Fights Cancer” initiative:

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

American Cancer Society

V Foundation for Cancer Research

Susan G. Komen for the Cure

St. Baldrick’s Foundation

Come to the game and get your mind off a Blue Monday for a while–and more importantly, help support a most worthy cause.
