Hockey ACT Chris MacKinnon Memorial Weekend
Published Mon 01 Aug 2022
The Annual Chris MacKinnon Memorial Weekend Is back for 2022!
Round 19: Thursday to Sunday, 11th - 14th August 2022
Event dates: Friday to Sunday, 12th - 14th August 2022
The Chris MacKinnon Memorial Weekend is an annual Hockey ACT event where the hockey community goes pink to help raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research. The weekend has been running since 2013 in honour of one of the Hockey ACT community Life Members, Chris MacKinnon, who sadly lost her breast cancer battle in January 2013.
Since the event's inception, the Hockey ACT community have managed to raise over $115,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). This is a fantastic effort and we appreciate the support we have received from our community.
Hockey ACT encourages our hockey community to Pink it up for the round and accessorise with all things pink (hair ribbons, wrist bands, bandanas).
New to 2022, our two marquee CL1 games for the weekend between United and Central, have been split across the weekend with the Men playing on Saturday followed by the Women on the Sunday. The decision for this was to extend the weekend, ensuring greater coverage for all participants.
