The Haymarket Adult Hockey League is hosting its first tournament, Hockey Fights Cancer, with the proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. The “pond” hockey tournament is held at the Haymarket IcePlex, in Haymarket.

A pond tournament is one in which the goals are much smaller, and there is no Goalie present.

For 25 years, the National Hockey League has united players, teams, coaches, doctors, patients, survivors, and fans to support the Hockey Fights Cancer initiative. This initiative has raised over $32 million since its inception. It has been at the forefront of raising awareness and supporting those affected by cancer, touching the lives of millions through the American Cancer Society and the Canadian Cancer Society.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
