The Coventry Blaze are supporting The Myton Hospices as part of the Elite Ice Hockey League’s Hockey Against Cancer Month, choosing Myton as their charity partner for a dedicated game night on Saturday 21st November.
The club will be raising vital funds for Myton through a portion of the sale of special Hockey Against Cancer jerseys, which feature the Myton logo, as well as a bucket collection during the game.
Ahead of the event, players Grant Mismash and Sisu Heikkeri visited Coventry Myton Hospice to meet some of our nurses and share the specially designed jerseys. During their visit, they found out more about the care and support we provide to people and their loved ones living with a wide range of life-limiting illnesses across Coventry and Warwickshire.
Myton will also have a stall at the dedicated game on Saturday 21st November, where supporters can make donations and purchase Myton merchandise.
Rob Coleman, Blaze General Manager, said:
We had no hesitation in choosing The Myton Hospices to donate to. We wanted to take the angle of supporting a charity which not only deals with cancer but for anyone who needs their help.
Jodie Jones, Community Fundraiser at The Myton Hospices, said:
We are incredibly grateful to The Coventry Blaze for choosing to support The Myton Hospices through their Hockey Against Cancer game. As a charity, we rely on the generosity of our local community to help us continue providing specialist palliative and end of life care to people across Coventry and Warwickshire.
It was a pleasure to welcome the players to our hospice and give them an insight into the difference their support will make to our patients and their loved ones. We’re really looking forward to being part of the game and seeing the Blaze community come together to support Myton.
If you're going along to The Coventry Blaze's Hockey Against Cancer game on Saturday 21st November, please visit our stall and show your support.
There are lots of ways you can support The Myton Hospices and help us continue providing specialist care to people across Coventry and Warwickshire.
