“We have received amazing support from the Capitals organization, Hockey Fights Cancer and the entire community,” declared Rob Keaton, PCOI co-chair. ”The players are thrilled to take the ice alongside some of the Caps greats and look forward to hearing their names called by Caps game announcer, Wes Johnson who will be on hand to call the game.”
“What started out a few years ago as a casual, monthly pickup hockey game among Caps fans has developed into a charity that we all are excited to be a part of,” explains PCOI co-chair, Gavin Toner. “We are honored and excited to hold this event in recognition of Dave Fay. His support of our sport and unbiased, reliable reporting of the Washington Capitals made him a favorite of players and fans alike. Dave’s untimely passing from cancer was a loss for so many and we are pleased to again donate all proceeds from this event to Hockey Fights Cancer.”
There is no admission fee to watch the game, but donations are always appreciated.

Fifth Annual HOCKEY FOR HOPE Charity Hockey Game
Presented by Richmond Hockey Fights Cancer - March 21, 2009 at the Richmond Coliseum
On Saturday, March 21, 2009 at 2:00 p.m., Richmond Hockey Fights Cancer will once again host the “Hockey For Hope” charity fundraising event. Proceeds from the game, including ticket sales, sponsorships, auctions and raffles, will go towards helping win the fight against cancer.
Hockey For Hope is an annual event, held in association with the National Hockey League Hockey Fights Cancer program, aimed at improving the lives of cancer patients and their families in the Richmond area and around the world. RHFC donates 100 percent of its profits to charities like the American and Canadian Cancer Societies, ACS Relay for Life – Mechanicsville and local treatment facilities, as well as directly to families of area patients undergoing cancer therapy.
This year, with the assistance of the Richmond Renegades and SMG Management, Hockey For Hope will once again hold its charity game at the Richmond Coliseum. At the game, more than 30 hockey players who have had cancer affect their lives will face off to raise money for the fight against cancer.
This Year Richmond Hockey Fights Cancer will take on Charlottesville’s Sperry Marine Hockey Club. SMHC has been influential in raising funds in the Charlottesville area for the University of Virginia’s Cancer Center
Sponsors can participate at any level – from jersey sponsors to individual sponsor packages and raffle donations. Depending upon donations, sponsors can receive public address announcements, program advertisements, Web site recognition and/or banner exposure.
Last year’s Hockey for Hope event saw over 700 fans and supporters attend the game and raise over $18,000 for cancer research, education and prevention. This year, which marks the fifth anniversary of the event, will see Hockey For Hope raise nearly $100,000.
