The 11 Day Power Play is back, ready to drop the puck for another 11 straight days. This year, there will be two games going on at Buffalo Riverworks’ two outdoor rinks.
On one ice surface, two teams of 20 players will be looking to break the world record for the longest hockey game ever played. On the other, the 40-team invitational, where supporters will be able to play and cheer on the potential world record breakers.
Amy Lesakowski is busy making sure everything is ready when the 11 Day Power Play drops the puck this Sunday at Buffalo Riverworks.
This is now year five of Amy and her husband Mike’s goal of using the sport of hockey to raise critical funds to help fight cancer.
“We are a hockey family,” Amy said. “I, like a lot of people in Buffalo, have battled cancer and we wanted to give back in a way that really made a difference in our community and support these beneficiaries. And we wanted to do it through the sports of hockey.”
