It is fitting that a sport that requires some of the most exacting control over one's body will take time during today's game to raise awareness for an illness that is about completely losing control.
Tonight is Hockey Fights Cancer night at Amalie Arena, and in honor of the event, the team will wear violet warmup jerseys, use violet tape, and sport a helmet decal to raise awareness for every type of cancer. The coaching staff and broadcasters will wear Hockey Fights Cancer ties. The jerseys, sticks, and ties will all be auctioned off to raise money for hockeyfightscancer.
