Minnesota Wild to Host Hockey Fights Cancer Awareness Night at Home Tonight
The NHL's Minnesota Wild announced they will host Hockey Fights Cancer Awareness Night, presented by Regions Hospital, at home in St. Paul on Sunday, Oct. 18. The team hosts the Columbus Blue Jackets at 5 p.m., with the game carried on Wild+ and KFAN FM 100.3.
According to the team, cancer themes will run through the night: cancer patients, survivors and anti-cancer charities will be featured throughout the game, and fans are encouraged to wear lavender in support. A special ticket package includes a Wild/Hockey Fights Cancer hoodie and a postgame group photo at center ice, with part of the proceeds donated to Crescent Cove.
The Wild Foundation will also sell $35 "mystery pucks" in Section 104, with all proceeds going to the foundation's charitable programs; fans can pick up "I Fight For" placards to hold up during a designated moment in the second period. The night's honorary flag bearer is Devin Paschkevich, whose younger brother Weston, a Wild Make-A-Wish recipient, died of cancer last season.
