Cancer touches us all and I am no exception. I lost my grandfather David Fox in March of 2019. He passed his love for the game of hockey on to my dad through the many sacrifices that it takes to raise a young player. Additionally, our close family friends, the Staerker's, have been deeply affected by cancer having our dear friend Bobby and his father Robert. The matriarch of the family, Chickie, is a cancer survivor and a pillar of strength and compassion for all who know her. Most recently, my uncle Dave just began his courageous battle. I play in support of Grandpa, the Staerker family, Uncle Dave and all whose lives are affected by this disease. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against cancer!

Proceeds of the event will support cutting-edge research and wellness programs at Roswell Park, Make-A-Wish WNY, Camp Good Days, Roswell Park and Golisano Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Program and The Petey Fund.
