From left, Jordan Cummings, Anna LeBlanc and Emma Samson yell “Stick it to cancer!” with their Edward Little High School teammates before Friday’s field hockey game in Auburn. The team raised funds for cancer research through Play4TheCure by selling pink bracelets at school, a bake sale, a 50/50 drawing and a chance to score a goal on the Red Eddies goalie Elise Syphers following the game. The team wore T-shirts before the game with the names of people they know who have been affected by cancer. First-year head coach Kim Joler and assistant coach Elaine Derosby thought the fundraiser would be a good way to support their mutual friend and ELHS graduate Michelle Lemieux, who is battling metastatic breast cancer. “We Play For Michelle Lemieux” was on the back of Joler’s T-shirt throughout the game.
