As we have mentioned in the past, several Huskies footballers have been participating in Play for a Cure, in hopes of raising money for cancer research. Money raised will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.
About fifteen Huskies football players are participating this year, including Tyler O’Gorman, Scott McHenry, Cory Jones, Mitch Friesen, Ben Coakwell, Levi Steinhauer, Cody Halseth, Seamus Neary, Peter Thiel, Taylor Wallace, Lyndon Boychuk, Mark Klause, Braeden George, Jarod Koroll, Hubert Buydens, Ben Randall, Bryce McCall, Harley Irwin, Nnamdi Metu, Tony Michalchuk and football student trainer Kurt Kuhn.
Most of these players grew their hair throughout the season and had is shaved off on Saturday night. Huskies Quarterback Laurence Nixon borrowed the camera and video camera to get some footage from the event. You can see some photos below, but we have 40 more on our flickr page.

I think it also worth noting that the woman shaving Scott McHenry’s head is the mother of the late huskies basketball player, Brennan Jarrett. Play for a cure is a great thing for huskie athletics!
Thanks for pointing that out Lars, that is something that I did not know. We should also point out that David Dube and Heather Ryan donated $25,000 to this cause bringing the total raised so far this season to almost $50,000!!
