The New Jersey Devils hosted its 2022 Hockey Fights Cancer Night, celebrating nine-year old Richard “RJ” Ferguson, a pediatric cancer patient at Rutgers Cancer Institute. RJ had the honor of reading the starting line up in the locker room prior to the game and participated in a ceremonial puck drop. The Devils also celebrated Will Luke, a survivor of a rare form of lymphoma and treated at Rutgers Cancer Institute, as a “Hero Among Us” during the game.
