Hockey Fights Cancer Month presented by Kaiser Permanente may look a bit different this year, but that hasn't stopped the Sharks from recognizing and supporting the many individuals impacted by the terrible disease.
All month long the Sharks Foundation and the Sharks are checking in with courageous individuals who were honored during our previous Hockey Fights Cancer nights.
Meet these cancer warriors - our community captains.

Tyler and his twin brother Alex dropped the ceremonial first puck on our Hockey Fights Cancer Night in 2017. He's been in remission for four years!

All month long, we’ll be checking in with our #HockeyFightsCancer Community Captains presented by @kpthrive, cancer warriors who were honored at previous Hockey Fights Cancer Nights 💜

Our first Community Captain is Tyler! pic.twitter.com/yzW6ya5X6N
