The Hockey Fights Cancer initiative was created by the NHL and NHLPA to unite the hockey community in support of cancer patients and their families. The Nashville Predators proudly join in the leaguewide initiative each year, most notably through the 365 Pediatric Cancer Fund. The fund, created by former Preds captain Shea Weber and retired goaltender Pekka Rinne, has raised millions of dollars for cancer research since its inception in 2013.

Our goal is to encourage every single Preds fan to contribute to the Hockey Fights Cancer initiative - whether that be through donating to the 365 Fund, purchasing HFC merch, posting who you fight for or sharing our HFC social media posts. Below are just a few ways you can join us in the fight against pediatric cancer:
