It takes a certain type of athlete to play a full game of hockey. Strapping on pads, hoisting a stick and chasing a puck back and forth across the ice, all with the potential for getting your body checked into a solid wall, for three 20-minute periods, isn’t for the casual, out-of-shape, Empire State Plaza skater.

Colin Healy, who now lives in Buffalo, will be part of a 40-man roster that will attempt the feat this coming November, all to help fight cancer.
