Saturday 21 November 2026 | Dundee Ice Arena
The MKM Dundee Stars are proud to announce that we will be joining clubs across the Motorpoint Elite League for a very special Ice Hockey Fights Cancer Night on Saturday 21 November and we are raising vital funds and awareness for Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS).
For one night, hockey becomes about so much more than goals, saves and league points. It’s about standing together, supporting families facing unimaginable challenges and showing just how powerful our hockey community can be when we unite behind a cause.
As part of a new league wide initiative, all ten Elite League clubs will dedicate a home fixture to Ice Hockey Fights Cancer between 13 and 22 November, supporting charities making a difference to people and families affected by cancer and other serious illnesses across the UK.
Here in Dundee, we are honoured to be partnering with CHAS, a charity whose incredible work brings comfort, care and precious moments of happiness to children and families across Scotland.
Supporting CHAS – Because Every Moment Matters
Every week in Scotland, three children die from a life shortening condition. Behind every statistic is a child, a family and a story filled with love.
CHAS provides specialist palliative care and support to babies, children and young people with life shortening conditions, as well as their families, helping them through some of the most difficult moments anyone could ever face.
But CHAS is about so much more than end of life care.
It’s about making memories, sharing laughter, creating moments of joy and giving families the opportunity to spend precious time together.
Through its hospices, Rachel House in Kinross and Robin House in Balloch, alongside its care services in hospitals and family homes across Scotland, CHAS provides specialist nursing care, respite, emotional support and compassionate care for the whole family.
From helping parents find a moment to rest, to giving brothers and sisters opportunities to enjoy childhood, CHAS is there to ensure families feel supported, understood and never alone.
Because every child deserves the chance to experience joy, and every family deserves to make memories that last a lifetime.
This year, CHAS has launched its ambitious £20 million More Than a Hospice Appeal, a once in a generation opportunity to transform children’s palliative care across Scotland.
The appeal has three major ambitions:
Rebuild Rachel House in Kinross, transforming Scotland’s first children’s hospice to meet the increasingly complex needs of children and families for generations to come.
Renew Robin House in Balloch, ensuring it continues to provide a welcoming, comforting and supportive environment.
Reimagine children’s palliative care across Scotland, helping more families access the care they need, whether at home, in hospital or in a hospice.
At the heart of the appeal is one simple but powerful belief: every family deserves a real choice about where and how their child is cared for.
The MKM Dundee Stars are proud to stand alongside CHAS in supporting this vision and helping the charity continue its extraordinary work.

More Than a Game. More Than a Team.
Cancer touches the lives of so many people, including members of our own hockey community. Whether you’re supporting someone through treatment, remembering a loved one or celebrating someone who has overcome the disease, Ice Hockey Fights Cancer is an opportunity for us all to stand together.
As a club, we know that the Stars family extends far beyond the players on the ice. It’s our supporters, volunteers, sponsors, families and the wider Dundee community who make this club special.
On 21 November, we have the chance to demonstrate that spirit once again.
Every donation, every jersey bid and every conversation about the work of CHAS will help shine a light on families who deserve our support.
Let’s fill Dundee Ice Arena with pride, compassion and the unmistakable spirit of the Stars family.
Together, we can help CHAS provide comfort, care and hope to children and families across Scotland.
