Every year when the Admirals hold their "Pink-in-the-Rink event, the Pilot's coverage of the event is relegated to just a couple of paragraphs on the bottom of page 7. This is always the largest crowd of the season, the ice is pink, and its a great photo opportunity and a chance to get some decent coverage. All they got was a "staff report".
