The Calgary Flames will hold their annual Hockey Fights Cancer Night presented by Mayfair Diagnostics on Thursday, November 21st when they host the New York Rangers at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

“We are honored to partner with the Calgary Flames in the fight against cancer,” says Dr. Sebastian Chlebek, Executive Chair of Mayfair Diagnostics. “Cancer touches all of us, whether through personal experience or its impact on loved ones. At Mayfair, we dedicate ourselves each day to supporting patients through diagnosis and treatment, with the hope of a future where cancer is no longer a leading cause of death. Today, we stand proudly alongside the Flames in this shared commitment to finding a cure.”

To support the campaign, the Flames will auction off newly designed lavender jerseys, each autographed by the respective player, with proceeds benefiting the NHL’s Hockey Fights Cancer initiatives. The auction will open at 7:30pm MT following puck drop. To bid on your favourite player’s jersey all while supporting the campaign visit https://m.elevateauctions.com/FlamesHFC

The Calgary Flames have partnered with Kids Cancer Care for a special pre-game ceremony honouring six children from their PEER Program, an evidence-based exercise initiative supporting kids undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment, supported by the Calgary Flames Foundation. The kids will join the Calgary Flames starting line-up on the ice and receive a special jersey from each player. Additionally, eleven-year-old Easton, representing the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation, will lead the team onto the ice as the TELUS Skater.

After making a $1 million donation to help build Camp Kindle 10 years ago, the Calgary Flames Foundation has been supporting the Kids Cancer Care’s PEER Program on an annual basis.

Later in the game, Lauren, from the Kids Cancer Care PEER Program, will showcase her energy and spirit as the Eagle Builders Fireball Kid, lighting the fire in front of the passionate C of Red. During the third TV timeout of the first period, fans will have the chance to show their support by holding up personalized “I Fight For” cards, provided at each seat courtesy of the Calgary Flames and Mayfair Diagnostics. Together, we stand united in the fight against cancer.

Through Flames fans support of the Calgary Flames Foundation RE/MAX 50/50 draw, the Foundation is proud to support charities in southern Alberta in the fight against cancer and to support people impacted by cancer. This includes a recent donation of $100,000 towards the Kids Cancer Care Foundation’s expansion and enhancement project at Camp Kindle. Hockey Fights Cancer apparel will also be available in FanAttic stores with funds directed to Hockey Fights Cancer initiatives.

Fans are encouraged to wear lavender, the official colour of Hockey Fights Cancer, as a show of solidarity. Together, we can create a powerful and united front against cancer while celebrating the bravery of the children and families in our community.
