“What a great event. We are very proud of our athletes’ commitment to promoting cancer awareness and raising over $25,000 in the fight against children’s cancer!” says Quinnipiac head hockey coach Rand Pecknold.

Tonight, the number one ranked Quinnipiac Bobcats face off against the St. Cloud State Huskies in the Frozen Four Semifinal Game in an effort to advance to the NCAA Championship Game on April 13.

Athletic teams around the world are participating in St. Baldrick’s signature head-shaving events and raising funds to help cure childhood cancer.
