Hockey Fights Cancer

What is Hockey Fights Cancer?

Founded in 1998 by the National Hockey League® and the National Hockey League Players' Association, Hockey Fights Cancer™ (HFC) 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. Together, the hockey family looks to inspire hope and courage for those who are living with, going through and moving past cancer.

November is the Hockey Fights Cancer Month across the NHL. Each of the 32 teams will celebrate their own Hockey Fights Cancer Night during the 2022/2023 season. The Winnipeg Jets will host theirs on Tuesday, November 29th, 2022 vs the Colorado Avalanche.

Winnipeg Jets Hockey Fights Cancer Night

The Winnipeg Jets Hockey Fights Cancer Night will be hosted on Tuesday, November 29th, 2022. That night, all Winnipeg Jets players will wear special Hockey Fights Cancer jerseys and use lavender stick tape during pre-game warm up. During the game, Jets coaches and broadcasters will wear official lavender-coloured Hockey Fights Cancer apparel. The Winnipeg Jets will also convert all their rinkboards and in-game visual media to lavender in order to generate increased awareness for the cause.

HFC Online Auction will run from Monday, December 5th, 2022 and closes on Sunday, December 11th at 8:00pm.

All funds raised from the online auction will directly benefit Cancer Care Manitoba.

Add some lavender to your life!

All Jets Gear locations (Canada Life Centre, Kildonan Place, Polo Park, St. Vital and Bell MTS Iceplex) and TrueNorthShop.com will sell a variety of limited edition Hockey Fights Cancer merchandise, with a portion of the proceeds going to Hockey Fights Cancer.

The hockey community is a family. And, like most families, we all know someone who has been affected by cancer. We encourage you to DOWNLOAD the "I Fight For" sign and use the hashtag #hockeyfightscancer to share your photo on Twitter or Instagram.

Since 2011 the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club have been committed to raise money and awareness for hockey's most important fight!

Over that time, through the support of our fans we are proud to say we have donated more than $1,000,000 to this great cause.

Take a look back at some memorable moments.
