On November 1st the Canucks face off against the New Jersey Devils at home on hockey fights cancer night.
This is a initiative supported by all 32 NHL teams in the NHL to band together and support cancer patients and their families.
Canucks players typically wear lavender jerseys to warm up in and tape their sticks with lavender tape as well. These jerseys are then auctioned off with all the proceeds raised being donated. Many teams do the same throughout the month of November.
This initiative is supported by all players, NHL members, NHL alumni, and many more. The goal of the organization is to raise money for cancer research, awareness and treatments. So far the NHL has helped raise over 15 million dollars in funds and will hope to continue that success this year.
If you’re going to come to a game this year make sure you attend this one as the Vancouver Canucks look to extend their WINNING streak (yes you read that right) and support a great cause at the same time!
