Today’s Red Wings’ link features two different pieces of information that deal with issues both on and off of the ice. Detroit defenceman Xavier Ouellet finds the NHL’s Hockey Fights Cancer campaign hitting close to home as his mother is currently fighting her own courageous battle with the disease. Ouellet didn’t mince words on the obvious hardships in having a loved one battling cancer.
“It’s something that’s really hard to deal with,” Ouellet said. “A lot of people are affected by it. It’s a really sensitive subject for everyone.”
Whether you have been affected personally or not, if you would like to donate to help find a cure, here’s a link to the American Cancer Society Donation Page.
