Pats partner with Better Together SK Clothing
Regina, Sask. – The Regina Pats are excited to announce a community partnership with Better Together SK Clothing to support their initiative of bringing communities together to improve mental health.
Every Tuesday this season, Pats players and staff will wear Regina Pats-themed Better Together SK Clothing T-shirts. The goal is to share and wear the message, “We truly are Better Together. Connected communities are healthy communities.”
November 5 will be the Pats first Better Together Tuesday, and the first of three Tuesday games. Deb McNabb, the founder of Better Together SK Clothing will take part in a ceremonial puck drop. The goal of the game will be to unite in the stands and on the ice for a night of hockey and community support.
“I’m so excited to see the Regina Pats be the first WHL team to wear and share our message,” said Better Together SK Clothing founder Deb McNabb. Our message is really important, and it’s connected communities are better communities, we’re better together. This initiative is a berth out of tragedy in our community, and it’s great to see young people taking our message and to make sure they’re helping one another means the world to me. I’m really excited to see the boys wear these T-shirts, and celebrate that connected communities are healthy communities.”
Pats players and staff were on hand for a special presentation from Deb on Tuesday, October 8 where the entire Pats organization was given special Pats edition Better Together SK Clothing shirts. These shirts will be available at the Regina Pats Store inside the Brandt Centre starting today. In Deb’s presentation, she spoke about the importance of mental health and speeding awareness to seek help from one another.
“I’ve learned you have to be brave. You can’t keep things bottled inside each other, you need to be able to speak to each other and communicate. No matter the age,” Pats forward Braxton Whitehead said. “The more everyone talks to each other and the closer we are. It’s heathier for our mental health.”
