Shea Theodore knows what it’s like to deal with cancer.
His grandmother is a breast cancer survivor. And with the NHL’s Hockey Fights Cancer initiative coming to T-Mobile Arena on Tuesday, the Golden Knights defenseman expects it to be emotional inside the building as the Knights host Dallas at 7 p.m.
“It’s special to see everyone embrace it,” Theodore said. “As a new organization, we’re trying to help out with every cause.”
Select patients from the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation will be honored prior to the game. Recently, a group of players visited the kids and spent time working on arts projects with them.
