SAINT PAUL, Minn. – The National Hockey League’s (NHL) Minnesota Wild today announced it will host Hockey Fights Cancer™ Awareness Night presented by HealthPartners Cancer Care on Monday, Nov. 25, when the team hosts the Winnipeg Jets 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. 25 are encouraged to wear lavender to show their support. The night will be dedicated to supporting the fight against cancer in numerous ways:
Jaxon Shepard, a 9-year old hockey player whose sister, Addy, passed away from Leukemia, will be the game’s honorary flag bearer. Will Francis, a senior defenseman for Minnesota-Duluth and two-time Leukemia survivor, will make the “Let’s Play Hockey!” announcement.
Each season, the Minnesota Wild supports Hockey Fights Cancer™, a joint initiative of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) powered by the V Foundation for Cancer Research. Through its first 25 years, this annual campaign has raised over $32 million and touched the lives of millions, offering support, raising awareness, and standing with those affected by cancer.

About Hockey Fights Cancer™
Founded in 1998 by the NHL and NHLPA, the first national cause program pioneered by a major sports league, the Hockey Fights Cancer initiative powered by the V Foundation presented by AstraZeneca has raised more than $36 million since its inception. Last season, Hockey Fights Cancer celebrated its 25th anniversary by setting a fundraising record of over $4 million in its first season as Hockey Fights Cancer powered by the V Foundation for Cancer Research. From that total, $2.9 million was raised with the V Foundation and will go directly to life-saving cancer research through 10 research grants to the best and brightest scientists across the U.S. and Canada. As part of that $4 million+ raised, $1.2 million was raised by Clubs for local cancer-related organizations and charities in the Clubs’ communities.
