We used our pink whistles earlier in the year. I haven't been informed about this weekend..... That being said, I always carry mine with me and will go with the flow if my partners are prepared!

Heck, I may even ask them tonight! Thanks for the heads up.

This is really neat that you guys do this in your own associations or leagues. We don't and I've never really thought about it. I'm sure if it hits home we'll probably do something like what you all do.

Didn't even realize this was the weekend. I do have a pink whistle in my bag but my D3 game was cancelled due to weather.

Sorry to hear that BNR - I'm hoping to get my games in tomorrow, but things are not looking too good. Supposed to be worse where you are though. Good luck

(Don't forget the M-B-TP!)

We've been using the pink whistles since the 18th of January and go through this weekend. Our association used pink whistles and lanyards and co-sponsored a shootout on the 16th of January for coaches v. cancer. A 7 game event.

Pink Jerseys

Last week, or week before, one of the local Girls' V squads wore pink home uniforms for a Cancer Awareness Game.

That would be interesting to see a pink & black officials' shirt.

The local major junior hockey team has an annual Breast Cancer Awareness night (pink laces, pink ice, pink jerseys, pink tape...).

In my area we were given pink and white whistle this year. We were told that we could wear them the last week in January (this week) to show support for Coaches v. Cancer. We were given pink for breast cancer (to wear at girls games) and white for prostate cancer (to wear during boys games). Last year we were given pink and blue whistles, wondering why they went with white rather than blue this year. Interesting that other areas only do pink.
