The Devils hosted their annual Hockey Fights Cancer Night presented by RWJBarnabas Health on Saturday, November 29, 2025, when they faced off against the Philadelphia Flyers at the Prudential Center.
The Devils hosted 7-year-old Trevor Bobev and his family at practice earlier in the week and at the game. Trevor, a Devils fan from Somerset, New Jersey, was diagnosed with Burkitt’s Lymphoma when he was four years old and was treated at Rutgers Cancer Institute, the state’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center together with RWJBarnabas Health.
Trevor’s practice day experience, held at RWJBarnabas Health Hockey House at Prudential Center on November 25, included a one-day contract signing, an official team-signed jersey and locker stall, full team meet and greet in the Devils Locker Room, watching the Devils practice, and an opportunity to skate on the ice with the team.
The gameday experience, held at Prudential Center on November 29, included walking in with the players upon arrival, watching warm-ups from the bench, joining the starting lineup read in the locker room, and participating in a ceremonial puck drop.
The Devils honored Dr. Archana Sharma, pediatric hematologist/oncologist and director of the pediatric survivorship program at the Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center, as the Hero of the Game along with other members of the Pediatric Oncology Care Team at Rutgers Cancer Institute and RWJBarnabas Health.
Dr. Sharma treats all types of pediatric cancer, with a clinical focus on blood cancers and cancer survivorship, including how childhood cancer treatments affect patients into adulthood.
As part of October Saves, Garden State goalies presented a check for $15,000 to support the Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center during the game. To date, October Saves has raised over $195,000 to support cancer care.
