It's November, which means only one thing: It's actually Movember.

This month, Movember, in partnership with the NHL and NHLPA, is taking fundraising to another level with the first Moustache Cup.

Here's what you need to know about the Moustache Cup, a fundraising initiative like no other:

11 teams across the NHL, and their designated "Moustache Cup Captain," will go head-to-head to raise funds in support of men's health
Each captain will grow his own moustache and spearhead fundraising activity on behalf of his team
The player who best exemplifies the qualities of moustachery and who raises the most funds through fan networks will be awarded the Moustache Cup

Here's a look at the teams and captains taking part:

Team	Captain
Anaheim Ducks	Adam Henrique
Calgary Flames	Mikael Backlund
Chicago Blackhawks	Andrew Shaw
Columbus Blue Jackets	David Savard
Edmonton Oilers	Zack Kassian
Florida Panthers	Jonathan Huberdeau
Minnesota Wild	Marcus Foligno
Ottawa Senators	Dylan DeMelo
Vancouver Canucks	Jake Virtanen
Vegas Golden Knights	Alex Tuch
Winnipeg Jets	Mathieu Perreault

Fans are encouraged to take part by joining their captain's Movember team and helping raise funds alongside their favorite players. The top fundraising fan from the Moustache Cup-winning team will receive two tickets to watch their favorite team play live, and will also present the Moustache Cup to their captain at a postgame meet and greet.

Here are some of the captains' impressive efforts:
