Thanks for visiting my 11 Day Powerplay page!

My name is Dan Liberg. I have been playing hockey since I was about 10 years old, when I absolutely fell in love with the game. I have mostly played roller hockey at various levels throughout my life, with the occassional ice hockey tournament sprinkled in here and there. Most recently, I've been convinced by my good friend, Mark Paradowski, to play in the Labatt Pond Hockey tournament and, even though I felt less effective than I usually am at roller hockey, found myself having an absolute blast.

Now, Mark has asked me to be a part of the Crusaders 11 Day Power Play team and I couldn't be more excited. This tournament raised over $1 million for cancer research last year. Let's beat that this year! I can't think of a better way to help Roswell than to raise money by playing the sport we all truly love, and feeling like little kids again out on the ice with our best friends.

Please consider donating whatever you can. It is tax deductible and would be great for a business donation as well, so share the word with friends and co-workers. 

This summer, more than 1,700 pairs of skates will hit the ice to play in the 2018 11 Day Power Play Community Shift to help in the fight against cancer! The 11-day game will be played in continuous, four-hour shifts at HarborCenter in Buffalo, New York. Each shift will feature two new teams. The purpose of this important event is to raise critically-needed funds for important local cancer causes, including: cutting-edge cancer research and wellness programs at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center; supporting programs that improve quality of life for children, adults and families affected by cancer through Camp Good Days; and, granting wishes and amazing experiences to kids with life-threatening illnesses, including cancer, by Make-A-Wish Western New York. Although it may be physically challenging for our players to play four continuous hours of hockey, it will be a walk in the park compared to what some people have to endure in their battle against cancer. Cancer is a disease that touches everyone, and The 11 Day Power Play wants to make a difference, a big difference. You can help make a big difference by supporting our players' efforts in The 11 Day Power Play Community Shift.

As part of our fundraising efforts, we also offer various corporate sponsorships, providing value greatly in excess of the financial contribution. Please contact Sara Schumacher at sara@11daypowerplay.com or 716-830-3805 for more information. Team sponsorships start at $1,100 and are first come, first serve. 

Proceeds of the 11 Day Power Play Community Shift will benefit our local families while supporting cancer research and wellness programs at Roswell Park, Make-A-Wish WNY and Camp Good Days.

Donations are graciously accepted either online or by check. Please write checks out to 'The 11 Day Power Play' and send to PO Box 4 Buffalo NY 14223.
