The Colorado Avalanche, along with the rest of the NHL, are supporting the Hockey Fights Cancer initiative. This initiative aims to unite the hockey community to support cancer patients and their families.
One of the ways players do this is through raising awareness. Every team designates a game for Hockey Fights Cancer — Colorado’s was last night against the Carolina Hurricanes. The players wore lavender-colored warm-up jerseys, and there were many other awareness activities as well.
Here’s winger Mikko Rantanen taping his stick in lavender, the official color for the initiative:
Lavender tape tonight.
