It’s ‘Diabetes Night’ at the Peterborough Memorial Centre, an initiative spearheaded by Petes goalie Michael Simpson who lives with Type-1 diabetes.
Simpson says this night is something he’s wanted to do since he was 10 years old.
Fans are being encouraged to wear blue, which is the official colour of diabetes month.
Simpson has also started a personal initiative to help raise money for kids in the Peterborough community to have the opportunity to go to D-camp, a two-week overnight camp for children with diabetes.
Fans can donate to this great cause in-person at the game or online. Tonight, there will be a silent auction for a game-worn Simpson jersey and a chuck-a-puck, with all proceeds going towards D-Camp registration fees.
