Wednesday night was a great success on and off the ice at the LEC. Not only did the Rivermen defeat the Eagles from Surrey by a final score of 6-1, but a lot of firemen and 2 coaches have very cold upper lips after a mass shave off.
During the second intermission of the game, 10 Township of Langley Firefighters and 1 Father of one of the Firefighters plus Rivermen associate coaches Bobby Henderson and Jordan Emmerson joined us at centre ice to finally rid themselves of the overgrown hair that had taken up shop on their upper lips. Mark Paine Sr. the father of one of the firefighters pledged to shave his mustache, which he has had for 42 years, if his son was able to raise $500 dollars. Well guess what? He did and in turn Mark Sr. had to shave baby shave. He was a great sport.
Theses gentlemen grew their mustache's for the whole month in order to support the awareness of men's cancer's. A special thank you to the Canadian Cancer Society Langley Chapter, Langley Township Firefighters and Mark Paine Sr., Bobby Henderson and Jordan Emmerson, and to Wild Child Tattoo and Hair Salon for providing the shaving services.
