The Foligno Face-off partners the brothers with the Blackhawks, Wild, NHL, NHL Players’ Association, and the V Foundation for Cancer Research through Hockey Fights Cancer to raise the funds.
According to Marcus, they’ve raised over $40,000 so far.
“It’s an honor that the NHLPA and NHL has come together, and obviously the V Foundation chose us to kind of lead the hockey fight against cancer and to bring a fun rivalry to it too,” Marcus said.
Marcus had his own pregame fun, sneaking into the Blackhawks’ locker room to mess with his brother’s locker. He dropped off a “Team Marcus” T-shirt, filled Nick’s skates with bubble gum, and put stickers all over his equipment.
