The Montreal Canadiens are proud to support the Hockey Fights Cancer program, founded by National Hockey League (NHL) and National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA) in 1998. Throughout the month of November, a host of fundraising and awareness initiatives are being held to highlight the courage of those living with or moving past cancer.
Hockey Fights Cancer Night
Join us at the Bell Centre on Saturday, November 23 for our Hockey Fights Cancer Night, as the Montreal Canadiens dedicate their home game against the Vegas Golden Knights to the children of Leucan. Make sure to get to your seats by 7:00 p.m., as you won’t want to miss the deeply moving pre-game ceremony.

Gear up in lavender with official Hockey Fights Cancer apparel available in person and online at Tricolore Sports. Part of the proceeds from each purchase made will be donated to Leucan.
Guy Lafleur Tribute T-Shirt
Last April, the hockey world lost one of the greatest players all-time. However, it’s far from the rink that Guy Lafleur faced the greatest battle of his life – his fight against cancer – for over two years. Pay tribute to the legendary no. 10 by purchasing this iconic t-shirt, with all proceeds benefiting the Fondation du CHUM’s Guy Lafleur Fund to help raise funds for cancer research.

What is Leucan?

Leucan promotes the recovery and the well-being of cancer-stricken children and supports their families by providing distinctive and tailored services and assistance through every stage of cancer and its side-effects.
Hockey fights Cancer
Since the inception of the Hockey Fights Cancer in 1998, a joint initiative with the NHL and NHLPA, the Hockey Fights Cancer programs of the National Hockey League Foundation (in the US) and the NHL Foundation (in Canada), along with NHL supporters and fans, have donated more than $32 million to support national and local cancer research institutions, children's hospitals, player charities, and local charities. Lavender, the official color of Hockey Fights Cancer™, represents all cancers and will be featured prominently throughout the campaign. To join the conversation, use the official hashtag #HockeyFightsCancer. Each of the National Hockey League Foundation and NHL Foundation retain full discretion and control over all funds received by it. For more information about Hockey Fights Cancer, visit:
