BUFFALO, N.Y. — The 11 Day Power Play ended this weekend following its first year back at Harborcenter in two years.
This year they raised $1.2 million to help fight cancer. The money will be donated to Make-A-Wish Western New York, WNY Camp Good Days, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Oishei Children's Hospital.
Skaters took the ice June 23 and ended July 3 around 6 p.m. Thousands of players participated to keep people in the ice almost continuously.
This year's fundraiser took place just seven months after a record breaking season in 2021. In November, forty players, including WGRZ's Pete Gallivan, raised more than $2 million and set a Guinness World Record for the longest hockey game ever, at 252 hours.
Organizers recently celebrated surpassing the $8 million mark since the event's inception in 2017.
