What is Hockey Fights Cancer?

Founded in 1998 by the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association, Hockey Fights Cancer, presented by OhioHealth, unites the hockey community in support of cancer patients and their families with the goal of raising money and awareness for national and local organizations involved in cancer care and research.

The initiative gets an assist from players, coaches, officials, equipment managers, front office staff, corporate partners, and fans. Together, the hockey family looks to inspire hope and courage for those who are living with, going through, and moving past cancer. Since its inception, the Hockey Fights Cancer program, along with NHL Clubs, supporters, and fans, have donated more than $28 million to support the fight against cancer.

The Columbus Blue Jackets join the National Hockey League in support of Hockey Fights Cancer by hosting the club's annual Hockey Fights Cancer Night presented by OhioHealth on Thursday, November 16, 2023 vs. the Arizona Coyotes. Lavender, the official color of Hockey Fights Cancer, represents all cancers and will be featured prominently throughout the campaign. To join the conversation, use the official hashtag #HockeyFightsCancer.
