About:
The Hockey Fights Cancer Cup returns for its 7th annual event, bringing student-athletes and the community together to support an important cause through the game of hockey.
This year’s matchup features the Storm taking on the Hawks on Saturday, January 31 at the M&T Bank Center in Schenectady County. The evening will begin with a special ceremony at 5:45 PM, followed by puck drop at 6:00 PM, setting the stage for a meaningful night both on and off the ice.
The Hockey Fights Cancer Cup has become a powerful annual tradition, using athletics as a platform to raise awareness and funds for cancer-related causes. Through donations, raffles, and a portion of event proceeds, this year’s game will benefit local American Cancer Society Relay for Life events in Schenectady County, directly supporting cancer research, advocacy, and community programs.
Student-athletes, coaches, and supporters all play a role in carrying on this tradition, reinforcing the message that teamwork and service extend beyond competition. By continuing to host this event year after year, the participating programs demonstrate a sustained commitment to standing with those affected by cancer.
Together, the Hockey Fights Cancer Cup reminds the community of the power of sport to unite, inspire, and make a difference—proving once again that when teams come together, they can truly stick it to cancer.
