| Thunderwolves team up with prostate cancer cause
The Lakehead Thunderwolves are teaming up with local health officials to promote men's health during one of their biggest games this season.. The team will be promoting prostate cancer awareness as they face off against the Windsor Lancers coached by T-wolves ex-coach Pete Beliveau at the Gardens on both Friday and Saturday nights. During the game Saturday, the Thunderwolves will be wearing unique jerseys that will be auctioned off at the end of the night. Those people taking home a jersey will also have their picture taken with the player and all of the proceeds go to Regional Cancer Care in support of prostate cancer research and patient care at the Regional hospital. Thunderwolves defenceman Matt Jacques says he pitched the idea because he has lost family members to cancer.

This "neoadjuvant" hormonal therapy may allow men most at risk of developing bone metastases avoid long-term hormonal therapy later on. Furthermore, the short-term hormonal therapy did not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease--a potential side effect of long-term hormonal therapy. .
