COQUITLAM - The Terry Fox Run will be getting a boost from the Coquitlam Express on Friday when the B.C. Hockey League squad hosts an awareness and fundraising event as part of their game with the Surrey Eagles, 7 p.m. at the Coquitlam Sports Centre.
A pre-game barbecue, sponsored by Mr. Mike's Restaurant, will kick off the proceedings at 5:30 p.m. at the north entrance of the Poirier complex, with donations to the Terry Fox Foundation earning fans a burger and a coupon that will get them inside to the game for $5.
Guests at the game will have a chance to meet former Vancouver Canucks coach, two-time Jack Adams award winner and Olympic gold medal coach Pat Quinn, as well as Corner Gas star Fred Ewanuick and members of the Terry Fox family.
