Each year, the NHL celebrates “Hockey Fights Cancer” (HFC) during the month of November. We are privileged to join all NHL member clubs in celebrating the HFC program during this month.

Founded in 1998 by the National Hockey League® and the National Hockey League Players’ Association, Hockey Fights Cancer™ unites the hockey community in support of cancer patients and their families. The initiative gets an assist from players, coaches, officials, equipment managers, front office staff, corporate partners, and fans. Players also participate in Movember to promote men’s health initiatives.

Together, the hockey family looks to inspire hope and courage for those who are living with, going through, and moving past cancer.

Hockey Fights Cancer in Pittsburgh will help the Cancer Programs at UPMC Children’s.
