Devils to host 7-year-old Trevor Bobev at practice (November 25) and game (November 29).
The Devils will host 7-year-old Trevor Bobev and his family at practice earlier in the week and the game. Trevor, a Devils fan from Somerset, New Jersey, was diagnosed with Burkitt’s Lymphoma when he was four years old and was treated at Rutgers Cancer Institute, the state’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center together with RWJBarnabas Health, under the care of Dr. Archana Sharma. Trevor is also a graduate of the Devils’ Learn to Play program and was coached in baseball by MSG Networks’ play-by-play announcer Don La Greca.
Trevor’s practice day experience, held at RWJBarnabas Health Hockey House at Prudential Center on November 25, will include a one-day contract signing, an official team-signed jersey and locker stall, full team meet and greet in the Devils Locker Room, watching the Devils practice, and an opportunity to skate on the ice with the team. The gameday experience, held at Prudential Center on November 29, will include walking in with the players upon arrival, watching warm-ups from the bench, joining the starting lineup read in the locker room, participating in a ceremonial puck drop, and other exclusive gameday experiences.
The Devils will honor Dr. Archana Sharma, pediatric hematologist/oncologist and director of the pediatric survivorship program at the Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center, as the Hero of the Game. Along with serving as Trevor’s physician, Dr. Sharma treats all types of pediatric cancer, with a clinical focus on blood cancers and cancer survivorship, including how childhood cancer treatments affect patients into adulthood. Working with the multidisciplinary team at the Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center, she also educates patients and their families about treatment options and potential long-term effects, empowering them to make informed decisions.
“Earlier this year, RWJBarnabas Health and Rutgers Cancer Institute, the state’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, deepened their commitment to transforming cancer care and research with the opening of the Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center, New Jersey’s first and only freestanding cancer hospital,” said Dr. Steven Libutti, William N. Hait Director of Rutgers Cancer Institute and Senior Vice President of Oncology Services at RWJBarnabas Health. “Conquering cancer requires collaboration, and we are grateful for the support of the New Jersey Devils and the NHL, as Hockey Fights Cancer is such a meaningful initiative. It is essential that we continue to expand oncology services across the state so patients and families can access the care they need close to home.”
