This upcoming Saturday at the New York Islanders practice facility in East Meadow, Islanders captain Anders Lee is hosting his fourth Jam Kancer in the Kan event.
The charity event will begin at 12:30 PM on the outdoor rink.
"I always thought that would be a fun spot to do it," Lee said. "They redid it a little bit and put it all together, and I think it's just a cool little spot to be able to host something like this. It's kind of the perfect size.
"That's where we practice. We're there every day. It's our home away from UBS. And I think it just makes a lot of sense. And it all kind of fits together."
While registration for the event has ended, there are important updates to know for people who cannot attend.

"This is a special year. September 16th marks the event's post-pandemic return and the first to be hosted by Anders on Long Island, so we wanted to make sure Islander fans who are unable to attend still have a chance to support families battling a cancer diagnosis," Jam Kancer in the Kan founder Jamey Crimmins told The Hockey News. "This year, we are glad to offer a limited number of autographed Anders Lee Kancer Jam pucks."
But wait, there's more.
Starting Monday at 3 PM, you can add some incredibly cool memorabilia to your collection by taking part in the event's online auction.

"I've always been impressed with New York and specifically Long Island where we live, the ability of communities to rally around each other in tough times and the support," Lee said.
"And I've always loved that about Long Island [...] People have phenomenal hearts in this area and care deeply about one another, and they're really good at giving back, whether it's in their neighborhood or a foundation like this. There's a lot of pride there in that."
