SAN DIEGO - The American Hockey League is proud to be joining the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association for their Hockey Fights Cancer™ initiative, which begins today.

The campaign, which has been uniting the hockey community in support of cancer patients and their families since 1998, will feature special events, observances and stories from people around the hockey community. This year, 21 AHL member clubs are designating a home game as a Hockey Fights Cancer awareness night with the opportunity to include lavender jerseys, dasherboards, stick tape, helmet decals and "I Fight For" cards. In addition, the AHL will be supporting the Hockey Fights Cancer initiative during the 2019 AHL All-Star Challenge in Springfield, Mass., in January.

Fans can get involved by donating online at HockeyFightsCancer.com and by sharing their stories using the official hashtag #HockeyFightsCancer.

The San Diego Gulls will host the club's inaugural Hockey Fights Cancer night on Friday, Nov. 23. The Gulls will wear a specialty jersey all game accented by the lavender color that represents Hockey Fights Cancer. The game-worn jerseys will be auctioned following the game with all proceeds donated to the American Cancer Society.
