Let’s team up to Fight AND DEFEAT CANCER
Put on the FOIL and FIGHT for STEVE CARLSON #17
I am a retired National League Hockey player, formerly with the Edmonton Oilers (WHA) and L.A. Kings, as well as one of the stars of the cult classic movie “Slap Shot”. A movie portraying the careers of the Hanson Brothers, and inspired by the lives of brothers, Jack, Jeff and Steve Carlson.
Throughout my career-I have been involved extensively with numerous charity fundraisers, such as Ronald McDonald House, Make-a-Wish Foundation, St. Jude Children’s Hospital and many more. Helping others in need and raising awareness for these foundations has long been a passion for me and I was fortunate enough to help in raising more than 27 million dollars for those charities.
Now, I am in need of such help.
On October 4, 2021, my world was flipped up-side down. My wife, Vicki, and I were informed that I have Stage IV metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.

On October 4, 2021, my world was flipped up-side down. My wife, Vicki, and I were informed that I have Stage IV metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) generally has a high survival rate. The 5-year survival is 99 percent when detected early. Once SCC has spread to the lymph nodes (In My case) and beyond, the survival rates are lower. Yet this cancer is still treatable with surgery and other therapies, even in its advanced stages.
The timing could not be worse. I have been retired for thirty-three years, and unfortunately I did not play enough games while working in the NHL to qualify for a pension or benefits. I have been completely reliant upon Social Security benefits and attending social appearances.
Put on the Foil -Share this with everyone-it’s the only way it will work.
Your donation will help me fight this disease. For the next 3 months I will require daily radiation with coinciding cycles of chemotherapy.
My treatments will be in Altoona and Pittsburgh require lodging, transportation and a multitude of other out-of-pocket expenses that we aren’t even aware of. Along with monthly household bills.
Thank you in advance for your thoughtfulness and God Bless You. I know he has a purpose for me during this journey.
