By Johnny McKenzie, Thu Dec 8th

There’s a difference between a fight and a fight, both in hockeyand in real life.

The NHL and the NHLPA have joined forces and founded the HockeyFights Cancer organization and they have been able to raise morethan $6.5 millions to cancer research organizations.

Cancer develops when cells begin to grow out of control andalthough there are many kinds of cancer, they all have in commonthat they start because of the growth of abnormal cells.

Even though the numbers of cancer cases expect to double in next50 years, the cancer death rates are declining thanks tofundraising and research.

Hopefully the Hockey Fights Cancer organization can contributeto the even more to the declining.

In the National Hockey League all team captains join the fightagainst cancer during games played between January 9-11 2004.

Every captain wear a special team jersey featuring a HockeyFights Cancer patch to underscore their pledge to fight cancer.

After the games, each captain signs his autograph on thegame-worn jersey and it is donated to the Hockey Fights CancerOn-Line Charity Auction, as a force for good.

The auction have many different items you can bid on and at thesame time you support the cancer research.

Without research even more people would have lost their life tothis common disease.

Hockey Fights Cancer is a force for good.
