DALE HAWERCHUK - 1963-2020

HAWERCHUK STRONG - IN LOVING MEMORY

Cancer has had an impact on so many of our lives. On August 22nd 2019, Hockey Hall of Fame legend Dale Hawerchuk was diagnosed with an aggressive form of gastric cancer. Dale immediately began months of chemotherapy, a full gastrectomy, and endless doctors’ appointments. After ringing the bell in April 2020 to symbolize the completion of his final round of chemotherapy, he began his recovery journey to regain strength and return to daily life. His first mission was to use his platform to launch an initiative that would raise awareness and give back to the healthcare community he and his family are so grateful for. Hawerchuk Strong was created and work began to achieve his goal.  

Sadly, Dale’s cancer returned with a vengeance in July 2020 and he lost his hard fought battle on August 18, 2020 surrounded by his loved ones. The Hawerchuk Strong initiative is as important as ever, and those closest to Dale are committed to continuing his mission in his memory. Dale’s fans who cheered him on for over 40 years can now show their support by wearing his brand or carrying his inspiration coin. Let’s all continue giving back to help achieve the goals Dale envisioned.

“Dale Hawerchuk put Winnipeg and the Jets on the map the day he arrived and the mutual love and respect he developed with our fans and the entire community is unlike any in the history of this franchise. But it would be a mistake to think that is all due to his Hall of Fame career. Rather, it is the result of his genuine humility and the grace by which he has always carried himself. Dale is simply one of the finest human beings that just also happened to be a superstar and the Winnipeg Jets could not be more proud to call him one of our own.

Mark Chipman | Owner & Chairman | Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club

"Dale Hawerchuk has made enormous contributions to his many communities with his time and talent and raised funds for numerous charities and organizations across Canada.  Over the past fifteen years Dale has hosted charitable events in Barrie , Hockley Valley , Muskoka and Winnipeg making major financial contributions to Easter Seals, Headwaters Health Care and the Winnipeg Jets Foundation among other. His unsurpassed commitment to giving back is one of his many legacies that endures. "
