The Prince George Cougars and RE/MAX will bring Nickelodeon Night for Children’s Miracle Network to the CN Centre on Saturday, Jan. 4, at 6 p.m. as the Cougars take on the Seattle Thunderbirds.
The Cougars will wear limited-edition retro Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles jerseys during the game, which will be auctioned off online, with proceeds benefiting the Children’s Miracle Network.
The Nickelodeon-themed event, which debuted during the 2022-23 Western Hockey League (WHL) season, is a charitable initiative spearheaded by RE/MAX in partnership with Paramount Global, the parent company of the beloved kids’ brand Nickelodeon. This season marks the third instalment of the event, which has already raised nearly $300,000 over the past two seasons.
The funds support children's hospital foundations across Western Canada, including BC Children’s Hospital, Stollery Children’s Hospital, Alberta Children’s Hospital, Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital of Manitoba.
“RE/MAX has been a strong supporter of Children’s Miracle Network for over 30 years,” said Christopher Alexander, president of RE/MAX Canada, in a press release. “Through creative initiatives like Nickelodeon Night, we’re able to contribute in fun and engaging ways to an important cause. We're excited to kick off the third season and continue raising funds for children’s hospitals across Western Canada.”
The evening will feature fun, family-friendly entertainment, with Nickelodeon’s iconic characters such as SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol and Dora the Explorer, among others, bringing added excitement to the event.
WHL teams across all 16 Canadian markets will also host Nickelodeon-themed nights, showcasing unique jerseys, giveaways, and in-game activities.
“Helping kids get back to being kids is at the heart of what we do,” said Adam Starkman, president and CEO of Canada Children’s Hospital Foundations. “This event, with its lively atmosphere and support from RE/MAX, will provide much-needed funding for hospitals in the community. Every dollar raised directly supports children in need of medical care, treatment, and specialized equipment.”
All funds generated through this initiative will go directly to local children’s hospital foundations, improving the lives of young patients across the region.
“We are excited to launch the third season of RE/MAX Presents: Nickelodeon Nights for Children’s Miracle Network,” said WHL commissioner Dan Near. “This initiative has become a fan favourite, and we are proud to partner with RE/MAX to support children’s hospitals and provide critical care to children and families in Western Canada.”
