SPRINGFIELD, Mass. … The American Hockey League is proud again to be joining the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players’ Association for their Hockey Fights Cancer™ powered by the V Foundation presented by AstraZeneca celebration month, which begins today.
The campaign, which has been uniting the hockey community in support of people with cancer and their families since 1998, will feature special events, observances and stories from people around the hockey community. This year, 23 AHL member clubs are designating a home game as a Hockey Fights Cancer awareness night with the opportunity to include lavender jerseys, dasherboards, stick tape, helmet decals and “I Fight For” cards. The AHL and its teams also support a variety of local cancer hospitals, clinics and advocacy groups.
