Hockey Fights Cancer Gets U.S. Political Recognition

Hockey Fights Cancer has been given the additional recognition by the United States congressional caucus by declaring "National Hockey Fights Cancer Day" on Congressional Hill. Some US. Congressmen will wear the NHL branded necktie in support of the Hockey Fights Cancer campaign.

Senator Kerry will be joined by Congressional Hockey Caucus members in wearing the 2011 commemorative Hockey Fights Cancer tie. Participating Members of Congress include Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-IN), Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY), Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA), Rep. Patrick Meehan (R-PA), Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) and Rep. Lee Terry (R-NE).

The mainstream recognition of the NHL and their charitable efforts is a strong signal to me that the NHL is fighting back it's reputation in the US as a mediocre national interest.
