WHAT IS PINK THE RINK? 

Every year, Altrincham traditionally hosts ‘Paint Altrincham Pink’. Businesses in Altrincham get involved and hold a range of fundraising events, all with a pink theme. This year runs from Monday 10th March to Sunday 23rd March, with Storm kick-starting early on the 8th.

Previous years have been a success, with the team helping out in the community with charity buckets, participating in local events and more.

Visit Altrincham have written an events calendar for Paint Altrincham Pink.

PINK THE RINK JERSEYS

The team will wear a very special ‘Pink The Rink‘ jersey, designed by Andrew Duxbury Design and brought to life by Hercules Ice Hockey Apparel.

The club wants YOU to participate in this event by wearing a pink item of clothing. It could be a jersey from previous seasons, a pink wig, jeans or more. We look forward to seeing a packed Storm Shelter full of pink, as we raise funds for a very special cause.

JERSEY HANDOVER

Pink the Rink jersey handover will take place in Jack’s Bar after the game.
