2 Years ago I played 11 days of hockey with 40 guys who I consider my brothers now even though at the time I only knew a few. We raised 1.2 Million dollars for Roswell Park Cancer Institute . It felt great. Last year my team was Big EA Red & our team worked hard to be one of the top fundraising teams and what a good bunch of knuckleheads they are. That felt great as well . This year we have 2 teams , mainly the Big EA Red team and their immediate. families. The common theme in all of this is... families who care about each other and about raising money for an awesome cause. I have an extended family because of the 11 DAY POWERPLAY. 40 dummies from the first one & Awesome Knuckleheads from the last one & this one. Families is the theme & I am playing this years 11 DAY POWERPLAY for my father in law William Toombs Pearl & his girlfriend Kathy who went thru the cancer diagnosis together and were tougher than playing hockey for 11 days straight. Please Donate. We all know someone associated with Cancer.

This summer, more than 2,500 pairs of skates will hit the ice to play in the 2019 11 Day Power Play Community Shift to help in the fight against cancer! The 11-day game will be played in continuous shifts at Harborcenter in Buffalo, NY. This important event supports The 11 Day Power Play, raising critically-needed funds for cancer research and wellness programs at Roswell Park, Camp Good Days and Make-A-Wish WNY. While it is physically challenging to play in a marathon hockey game, it's a walk in the park compared to what most endure in their battle against cancer. Cancer is a disease that touches everyone, and The 11 Day Power Play wants to make an impact in our community. In the past two years, The 11 Day Power Play has raised nearly $2.5 million supporting cancer causes in Western New York.
