Pharmacy vs. Dentistry Hockey Game

Each year we engage in some “friendly” competition with the Faculty of Dentistry – all for a good cause. In the past, we have partnered with the Movember Foundation and Diabetes Canada to raise money for these initiatives. This year, we are supporting a local not-for-profit here in Edmonton, the Bissell Centre. Bring your skates and helmets as the night will begin with a half-hour free skate for alumni and their families and will be followed by an exciting hockey game between the two faculties. 

 When April 01, 2023 5:00 PM - 8:15 PM
