Sticks & Biscuits allows PCIHC to reach and score goals BY JEFF FALK

Inside the ice hockey arena, sticks and “biscuits” - or pucks - are crucial for staging the contest. On the Thanksgiving table, drumsticks (or simply sticks) and biscuits play different roles that are just as important. Sticks and biscuits also have a lot of meaning to the Palmyra Cougars Ice Hockey Club (PCIHC). For it is from them that the club’s most important fundraising event, Sticks & Biscuits 5K, originates. See PCIHC pg 2 Runners at last year’s Sticks & Biscuits 5K break from the starting gate.
