The Seattle Kraken hosted their 4th Annual Hockey Fights Cancer Night during a game against the Nashville Predators, highlighting the battle against cancer through special tributes and community initiatives. The night featured a tribute video honoring those affected by cancer and initiatives promoting prevention, including free PSA blood tests for prostate cancer for men over 40. The Kraken raised funds through an auction of specialty jerseys, with Brandon Tanev’s jersey fetching $2,555, and recognized local oncologist dietician Kerri Jo Harp as a community hero. The team also celebrated a 3-0 victory against the Predators, closing out a successful homestand.
While the focus was on cancer awareness and prevention, there were concerns about the emotional weight of such events on players and fans, as continuous reminders of loss can be heavy.
The Kraken will face the Kings in L.A. on Saturday and the Ducks in Anaheim on Monday, aiming to extend their winning streak and bolster their standings in the NHL.
Hockey Fights Cancer Night not only brought attention to a vital cause but also solidified the Kraken as a franchise that values community engagement, blending sports and philanthropy effectively.
