ST. PAUL -- The National Hockey League's (NHL) Minnesota Wild today announced it will host Hockey Fights Cancer™ Awareness Night on Tuesday, Nov. 2, when the team hosts the Ottawa Senators at 7 p.m. Cancer patients, survivors and cancer charities will be featured throughout the game, and many of the in-game elements will incorporate the Hockey Fights Cancer theme.

Fans attending the game on Nov. 2 are encouraged to wear lavender to show their support. The night will be dedicated to supporting the fight against cancer in numerous ways:
Each season, the Minnesota Wild joins forces with the NHL and the National Hockey League Players' Association for Hockey Fights Cancer™, an initiative to raise money and awareness for hockey's most important fight. To date, the NHL's U.S. and Canadian charitable foundations and NHL supporters and fans have donated more than $25 million to support national and local cancer research institutions, children's hospitals, player charities, and local charities.
