Role Details

Nearly half of Canadians are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and the hockey community is no exception. Over the years, members of the hockey family have been affected by cancer.

Together with the National Hockey League (NHL) and National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA), the Hockey Fights Cancer™ partnership inspires hope and courage for people who are living with, going through and moving past cancer across Canada.

Funds raised through our partner program HFC Assist provide compassionate support services when they are needed most – such as accommodations during cancer treatment, transportation to and from appointments, and reliable, trusted information to make life better for people with cancer.
