I am happy to say that I will once again be particpating in the 11 Day Power Play! It was such an honor to be a part of this great event last year.
I will once again be honored to play with my step-mother and my mother-in-law's memories in my heart. For those that don't know, I lost my stepmother, Cynthia Hafezi, to pancreatic cancer in 2011. I also recently lost my mother-in-Law, Rose Sperandeo, to a year-long battle against stomach cancer. Both of these strong women were loved and cherished by their families, and are greatly missed. This terrible disease takes away so many good, strong people way too early.
This tournament raises money for so many good causes; Roswell, Make A Wish, and Camp Good Days. I'm just excited to do what I can, especially when it involves playing hockey with a great group of guys!
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.
