BISON STUDENT ATHLETES SUPPORT BELL LET'S TALK.
Bisons support Bell Let’s Talk campaign
Men’s hockey and men’s volleyball in action at home this weekend
The Bison men’s hockey and men’s volleyball teams will host a Mental Health Awareness & Suicide Prevention evening in support of Bell Let’s Talk on Friday, January 25. Both games start at 7 p.m. with hockey facing off at the Wayne Fleming Arena against the Lethbridge Pronghorns and volleyball taking on the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack at Investors Group Athletic Centre.
Mental health advocacy groups will be set up at both venues and #BellLetsTalk toques will be handed out to fans on entry (while supplies last). Billy the Bison will also be in attendance encouraging fans to support the Bell Let’s Talk campaign by signing the giant #BellLetsTalk banner and sharing photos.
Come out on Friday and cheer on the Bisons and back their efforts to support this great cause. Tickets are $10 for adults. U of M students and fans 17-and-under get in free!
