LETHBRIDGE – A legend in women’s hockey in Canada will be in Lethbridge for a pair of events meant to empower women through sport and networking.

Cassie Campbell-Pascall, the only captain male or female to lead Canada to two Olympic gold medals, will host a free on-ice session between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. for girls on Saturday, June 16 at the ATB Centre. Event organizers say all skill levels are welcome to come out and play hockey with Campbell-Pascall.

Following that will be a fundraising dinner in the Grand Ballroom at the Coast Terrace Inn. It’s billed as an evening where Campbell-Pascall will speak to young women in the community about “coming out of their comfort zone.”

This is planned to be a ladies evening, and tickets will be sold in pairs. The cost varies depending on the type of ticket.

It’s $165 for two seats, one for the female host and the other for the female guest between the age of 8-18, or adults can purchase one individual ticket for $125.
