It's an honor and pleasure to be skating (this year as a captain too) for the amazing 11 Day PP event. It’s the least I can do for all those friends and family that have battled this terrible thing we call cancer. A special honor is for my co-worker, Jill, who recently was diagnosed with a form of this dreaded disease. I’ll be skating to #PuckCancer while Jill, #OwenStrong and countless others take on this courageous battle.
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.
