Hockey Fights Cancer™ was founded in 1998 by the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA). Since its inception, the Hockey Fights Cancer™ program has resulted in donations of more than $20 million to support the cancer programs of local and national cancer research institutions, children's hospitals, player charities, and local charities.

Funds raised in support of Hockey Fights Cancer™ help the American Cancer Society (ACS), Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), and Movember support people affected by cancer, their families, and caregivers. Some of the many ways include:

• Lodging – Cancer patients and their families often need to travel away from home to get their treatments, some lasting weeks or months. Fan donations to Hockey Fights Cancer™ help the ACS and CCS provide cancer patients and caregivers with a welcoming, caring place to stay when traveling away from home for necessary treatment in the US and Canada. In fact, funds raised through HFC during the 2017-18 season are helping ACS provide over 5,000 nights of free lodging for patients and their caregivers in the US.

• Transportation – Getting to and from appointments can be a source of stress for many patients with cancer. To help relieve this burden, donations through Hockey Fights Cancer™ from the 2017-18 season helped ACS & CCS provide over 15,000 rides to treatment for patients.     

• Round the Clock Support – Vital programs, such as the ACS 24/7 helpline, CCS cancer information service, and trustworthy information (cancer.org and cancer.ca) to help answer questions and provide support for those affected by cancer.
