This May, Huntington Diseases Awareness Month will see a classic rivalry play out on ice. Announcing… the Huntington Disease Hockey Classic!
THIS WEEKEND – on Saturday, May 14, 2022, the Huntington Society of Canada (HSC) will face off against the Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) in this inaugural event!
These two organizations will be coming together to raise much-needed funds and awareness to support individuals and families facing Huntington disease (HD) across North America. In one of hockey’s most-intense rivalries, this USA vs. Canada charity hockey game will feature former professional and collegiate players battling it out for bragging rights – all for an incredible cause.
The puck will drop at 1:30 p.m. (EDT) during HD Awareness Month at RWJBarnabas Health Hockey House in Newark, New Jersey, home of the New Jersey Devils. Aside from the on-ice action, this will be a fun-filled event for the entire family that will include intermission contests, entertainment, raffles, player meet & greets, special guests and much more!
HSC Captain – COLIN WHITE
HDSA Captain – JAKE DOWELL

HERE’S HOW IT WILL WORK: There are only 100 of these commemorative HSC hockey pucks celebrating HSC’s involvement in the first-ever HD Hockey Classic. For just $5, your puck will be chucked toward centre ice by an event organizer. The puck that lands closest to the centre wins an incredible prize – a signed NHL hockey jersey! Plus, you’ll receive your puck back as a treasured keepsake.
Note – you do not need to be present at the event to play or purchase. The contest will be displayed via the livestream of the event, so you’ll be able to catch all of the excitement.
SUPPORT TEAM HSC! Be a part of Team HSC by making an assist to support the fight against HD. You will help us reach our goal to raise funds that will go directly to providing much-needed resources for families impacted by Huntington disease (HD) throughout Canada.
