Hockey Fights Cancer: Background and History

The Hockey Fights Cancer initiative was established in 1998 by the National Hockey League (NHL) and the NHL Players’ Association (NHLPA) as a league-wide initiative to raise money and awareness for cancer research and patient care.

Each year, teams across the NHL hold special events and activities to support Hockey Fights Cancer, including jersey auctions, chuck-a-puck contests, and 50/50 raffles. The funds raised through these events are donated to local and national cancer organizations.

Since its inception, Hockey Fights Cancer has raised over $287 million for cancer research and patient care. The funds raised have helped support a variety of cancer-related initiatives, including research, treatment, and prevention programs.
