Hockey Fights Cancer

Presented by HealthPartners Cancer Care

Each season, the Minnesota Wild joins forces with the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association for Hockey Fights Cancer (HFC), an initiative to raise money and awareness for hockey's most important fight.

This year's Hockey Fights Cancer night has passed. Please check back next year!

Donations

Fans can also donate to Hockey Fights Cancer at cash registers of all concession booths to benefit Team Tucker throughout the entire month of November. For more information or if you have questions about this process, please reach out to your account representative who will be happy to provide further support.

Wild fans across the State of Hockey and anywhere in the world can join our effort in battling hockey's most important fight by displaying your own personalized HFC "I Fight For" placard.

Fans are invited to show us who or what they fight for by filling out a Hockey Fights Cancer "I Fight For" sign presented by Bud Light. Download the HFC placard artwork, fill in who or what cancer cause you fight for, snap a picture of you with your card and share with us by tagging #MNWild and #hockeyfightscancer on any social media platform. "I Fight For" placards will be made available at select locations throughout Grand Casino Arena and fans will be asked to raise them up during the game.

On November 14, 2025, the Minnesota Wild celebrated Military Appreciation Night with a series of heartfelt tributes. The evening featured a special honoring of Vietnam War veterans. During the second intermission, season ticket member and veteran Bill Rout and his wife Kelly were surprised with a road trip with the Minnesota Wild, a moment made even more memorable when Bill Guerin and Kevin Gorg announced it live on FanDuel Sports Network. Also that night, the Minnesota Warriors were the beneficiaries of Split the Pot, and the United Heroes League received proceeds from the auction of player-signed military jersey, making it a night of recognition, generosity, and unforgettable memories.

On March 19, 2025, the Minnesota Wild partnered with PCL Construction to host the 5th Annual Hockey Talks, a program aimed at raising awareness for mental health. The pre-game event featured Erik Westrum, an Alumni of the Minnesota Wild and a mental health advocate, who shared his personal journey with depression and the importance of creating a culture that encourages open conversations about mental health. Proceeds from the program benefited The Ranch – Teammates For Life, a nonprofit dedicated to positively impacting the lives of veterans, athletes, and others in need of support.
