BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — At the Harbor Center, more than 2,500 hockey players are lacing up their skates, picking up their sticks and playing with a purpose.
“The community has embraced the 11 Day Power Play, everyone is affected by cancer,” said Amy Lesakowski, co-founder of the event. “We have cancer survivors on the ice, we have family members who are in the stands who are battling cancer, and it’s really nice to see that hockey is a way we can raise this amount of money to support our families locally.”
