NEW YORK / TORONTO – The National Hockey League (NHL®) and the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) announced today that autographed copies of Best of the Decade: Reflections of Hockey's Past Ten Years will be available for bidding through auction.nhl.com and nhlpa.com.  The online auction, which will feature books signed by NHL team captains, will commence on October 26th at 6:00 p.m. ET and conclude on November 4th at 9:00 p.m. ET.  All proceeds will benefit Hockey Fights Cancer™. 

Through Hockey Fights Cancer, the proceeds of this year's auction will help a cause that is close to the players and the entire hockey family - the fight against prostate cancer.  Proceeds will be divided evenly between Prostate Cancer Canada and ZERO – The Project to End Prostate Cancer.  Both organizations have been chosen this October as charitable partners of Hockey Fights Cancer.

Best of the Decade: Reflections of Hockey's Past Ten Years is the fourth of an annual visual celebration series published by the NHLPA and the NHL, together with Getty Images, NHL Images and Greystone Books.  The book chronicles highlights from the first decade of the 21st century and provides candid, behind-the-scenes images.
