The 11 Day Power Play, the world’s longest hockey game whose purpose is to help fight cancer, is back in Buffalo, with a twist.
Instead of 40 players living, breathing, sleeping and playing one continuous hockey game spanning 11 continuous days, this year’s version will include roughly 120 teams comprised of 1,700 players participating in 60 four-hour shifts of one single game. It’s dubbed the “11 Day Power Play Community Shift” and will run from July 5-15 at HarborCenter. The opening ceremony starts July 5 at 7 p.m. and the puck will drop at 8 p.m.
“People kept asking us… ‘What are you gonna do next? What are you gonna do next? And if you ever do it again, we want to play.’ So we just kind of knew that we needed to do this community event. We didn’t want to lose the momentum,” said event co-founder Amy Lesakowski.
The 11 Day Power Play is the crazy idea of Amy and Mike Lesakowski. Mike’s mother, Evelyn, died of brain and lung cancer in May 2016, and Amy is a survivor of breast cancer.
“I was able to jump in a clinical trial at Roswell Park. That clinical trial, I believe, saved my life. I want to support the hospital as well as so many other people in our community,” said Amy.
Last summer’s wildly successful inaugural event helped raise $1.2 million for Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Roswell, located in Buffalo, is the nations’s first cancer center and a world leader in groundbreaking research in the fight against cancer. It also set a Guinness World Record for the longest continuous hockey game: 251 hours.
When the final horn sounded, the Blue team had outscored the White team, 1,725-1,697. But aside from a few side bets and endless razzing between players, that hardly mattered. The grueling physical and mental marathon game tested the resolve, spirit and stamina of every player. Players often skated two and sometimes three four-hour shifts per day, while living at the arena. Locker rooms were transformed into bunks. Blisters, cramps and muscle aches became the norm. All in the name of fighting cancer.
An incredible bond was forged among the 40 men who endured 11 grueling days of continuous hockey. One was also forged between the community and the event itself. Support for the event was tremendous from local companies. It truly captured the hearts and minds of Western New Yorkers. Sensing this, the Lesakowskis and their board knew they had to continue the momentum as well as their fundraising efforts by broadening the game and involving the incredible greater Buffalo community.
Merging their passion for hockey and fighting cancer, Mike and Amy have been on a mission to bring hope to those suffering the ill effects of the disease. They want to make a difference. And they know they already are.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, really adds up. Every single dollar is important; as their video explains, Roswell Park can leverage an additional $13 in research grant funding for every dollar donated. The $1 million raised by this event for cancer research could potentially turn into $13 million for Roswell!
“Just knowing how hard the scientists and researchers at Roswell work. For them to go out of their way to really stress how important those funds are. I mean every dollar raised is really thirteen dollars. It’s considered seed money,” said Amy.
Along the way, the Lesakowskis have been humbled by the support they’ve received.
Aside from crushing their fundraising goal of $1 million, the outpouring of support from the community was insane. It was overwhelming how quickly and selflessly Buffalo showed up.
The Lesakowskis know that Buffalo is filled with tens if not hundreds of thousands of Sabres fans, bar leagues, and hockey families. After all, they’re members of all three of these groups. Once the idea was hatched to open the event to a wider group, the initial response to the call for teams exceeded expectations. In fact, it was so popular that a wait list had to be made to participate. The teams are comprised of male and female players of all ages.
“Eleven-year-olds are the youngest and I believe we have a 71 or 72-year-old,” said Mike as he shuffled through registration papers. While their ages span generations, and their skill levels vary, they’re all unified by a single mission: having fun while fighting cancer.
Aside from having a personal cancer story to help motivate them, each team has a fundraising goal and each player has a personal goal as well. The 11 Day Power Play committee supports every player with individual website pages, as well as sharing and monitoring their fundraising efforts. This year’s event has already raised more than five hundred thousand dollars, well on their way to their $1-million goal.

By their very nature, hockey players are competitive. So last year, Mike knew or got to know the 39 other skaters. He went to great lengths to personally try to make the teams as even as possible. This year, it’s kind of up in the air. It’s one game comprised of 60 ‘mini-games’ that will be added up to one final score.
“It’s funny. No matter what you tell people, it’s a charity game, it’s for fun… if it’s 3-1, the team with 1 is going to try a little harder,” Mike said as he chuckled. “There’s a whole white team and a whole blue team and everyone gets jerseys. We’re gonna keep score per shift and overall and we’ll see how it shakes out. It’ll be very interesting to see how close or not close the game ends up being.
The game will have referees and official scorers and all, but it’s a little more casual this year. Since they’re not trying to break any records, they don’t have to follow specific rules.
Unlike some fundraisers, all of the monies raised for the 11 Day Power Play go directly to the bottom line. The event is fueled by one part-time event coordinator, six dedicated board members, and hundreds of volunteers from the community. Sara Schumacher is the tireless and dedicated coordinator who works hand-in-hand with the Lesakowskis.
More than 60 local companies stepped up to generously support the fundraising goal last year. The response this year has been just as tremendous as local and regional sponsors continue to rally behind the event and its cause which has received both national and international publicity. The endless, unwavering support from the community only adds to the event’s heartwarming “give it all you got” nature. It’s hard not to get caught up in the personal stories of those affected by cancer in some way.
The primary beneficiary of this year’s event is once again Roswell Park. However, proceeds will also go to Camp Good Days and the Make a Wish Foundation of Western New York. Both Amy and Mike felt strongly about supporting more organizations that go beyond research and offer joy to so many suffering from cancer or other life-threatening diseases.
“Roswell is still by far our primary beneficiary. We’re going to give 80 percent or more to Roswell because that’s where our heart is mostly. But with having so many people, we thought that having a couple more charities involved would open up the audience, too,” said Mike Lesakowski.
As an added incentive to raise money, the top three individual fundraising teams get to play against a team comprised of Sabres alumni and Buffalo Beauts. The Beauts are a professional women’s hockey team coached by former Sabres Ric Seiling and Craig Muni. On the final day, Sunday, July 15, they will play one hour each against the top fundraising teams, from 3:00-4:00 p.m., 4:00-5:00 p.m., and 5:00-6:00 p.m.
Like most records, the 11 Day Power Play’s Guinness World Record has already been broken. The same group in Alberta, Canada that held the record before Mike and Amy hatched their original plan played an outdoor game earlier this year.
“You know, I’m not sure when,” answered Mike thoughtfully. “This event that we’re doing right now, when we first thought of it, we weren’t sure how it was going to be accepted. Kind of similar to last year. We had a lot of people sign up really quickly so it was obvious there was a lot of interest. I think the way it’s played out, there’s going to be interest going forward. A lot of the teams that have signed up and people that have already said, ‘Hey, I hope you guys continue to do this because it’s a really cool idea.’ So this particular event, we’re hoping it’s going to live on. And then we already have ideas for some other events. To answer your question, I don’t know. I would say if not next year, then the following year for sure.
“The guys in Edmonton have done it… I think this was their sixth time since 2003. It’s about every other year.
There are teams registered from all over the map, including one from Canada and one from North Carolina.
In addition to the actual players, referees and Zamboni drivers, running an event of this magnitude requires tremendous planning, logistics and manpower. The game never stops; there are always two teams playing round the clock, 24/7. Volunteers are needed to help coordinate a constant flow of people throughout the 11 days. They’ll help families and fans find their way around, sell merchandise, and offer a helpful hand wherever needed. The game never stops, so volunteers are always needed, be it 2 a.m. on Tuesday or 9 p.m. on Saturday.
There will also be live music every day from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Bands have signed up, donating their time to add to the festive atmosphere at the arena.
Last year, 12-year-old Emmett Jakubowski was the Event Ambassador for the 11 Day Power Play. The passionate hockey player with an infectious smile got back on the ice for the first time after enduring a bone marrow transplant to skate with the 40 original team members.
The seventh-grader, who has benefited from all three organizations—Roswell Park, Camp Good Days and Make a Wish Foundation—will be back again in the same capacity, plus he’ll captain his own team of some fellow cancer survivors.
Ethan Kane, another 12-year-old, heard about the event and wanted to get involved as an integral part of his Bar Mitzvah. A requirement of his process is to volunteer for something that rights a wrong – he chose the 11 Day Community Shift. Ethan is the captain of a team comprised of half classmates and half hockey mates from his travel team. The vigor and dedication of such young supporters to help others through this hockey experience is beyond inspirational.

Birds that Vladimir Putin tried to save have 'almost disappeared' due to illegal shooting.
Only a 'few pairs' of the West Siberian population of the Siberian crane now remain in the lower reaches of the Ob River, warned Dr Lev Vartapetov, deputy director of the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals in Novosibirsk.
In the 1980s, there were at least 280 cranes which wintered in the Keoladeo Nature Reserve near Agra in India. By 2012, the population had sunk to just 18 birds.
The same year, President Putin took part in an audacious exercise to persuade captivity-bred cranes to migrate from the Yamal peninsula in Western Siberia to central Asia, rather than Iran or Pakistan.
He flew in a hang-glider to lead six Siberian cranes in flight in September 2012. However, the cranes failed to take the hint and did not go south that year.
The crisis is in marked contrast with Siberian cranes in the Sakha Republic - or Yakutia - which winter in China.
Experts are working at Oka State Nature Reserve in Ryazan region work is underway to 'restore the fading Western Siberian population' of cranes, he said. Meanwhile, strong warnings have been issued in Pakistan over the threat to the birds.
In January, Kashif Majeed Salik, a senior official of the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI), expressed the fear over a growing trend of illegal shooting of migratory Siberian cranes and Bustards in winter.
'If the practice continues, extinction will be the ultimate fate for the endangered migratory birds which would also badly hit the eco-system,' he said. The cranes were being 'hunted indiscriminately', he said.
Ten months ago, newspaper The Nation warned that 'up to 25,000 Siberian cranes are killed or trapped in the country due to excessive hunting', citing a revealing analysis by Divisional Forest Officer Wildlife Abdul Halim who spoke at a gathering of hunters.
Shooting and live trapping of birds had separated 25,000 more cranes from their pairs, he said. Widespread hunting 'posed a serious threat to the survival of cranes and, therefore, the government had banned hunting', he said.
Illegal hunting should be avoided, he said.
'Hunters should act upon the relevant laws. They should extend support to the wildlife department to save cranes and other wildlife species and their natural habitats,' he said.
The tragedy of the depletion of these birds is highlighted by an announcement in November 2014 that 'the last Siberian crane has returned to Iran for the seventh consecutive year'.
Locals named the crane Omid - Persian for 'Hope' - when it landed at Fereydunkenar wetland after a winter migration. 'Omid flies a distance of about 6,000 km each year to arrive in Iran,' said the report from Mehr News Agency. While the attention to this crane is commendable, its rarity nowadays is so sad.
Fereydunkenar is a resort on the Caspian Sea. Its wetland has one of the richest ecosystems among the northern cities of Iran.
Dr Vartapetov's institute is part of the the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Thank God the heroic efforts. My kids favorite movie is fly away home.
There needs to be more balance in our globally connected universe.
If I can he!p let me know.
Why is mankind so passionate about killing ,cranes.... birds...bears...gorillas ...lions...apes etc. etc. and also killing each other.
Why oh why ,can't we control our barbarian instincts.
I wish this crane 金山小白鶴 could back to its family land to live with its families.
We adore this crane 金山小白鶴.
Such a sad indication of how man's tunnel vision for "supremacy trophies" can alter the fate of another species...one that is just as valid, just as crucial to our "big picture" When will man wake up to the butterfly effect...if our brains are supposedly more sculptured why does this sort of devastating savagery exist?

We've been up since 5:45 this morning. We're grown adults, yet still get so excited about Christmas Eve. Monty has already been snooping under the tree this morning, while Mr. B is snuggled next to the fireplace watching a "feel-good" Christmas movie on the Hallmark channel.
There is a magic and warmth that comes with this day each year.
I was wrapping a few presents the other night when Mr. B looked at me and said, "I am excited for kids one day and the magic that comes with Christmas Eve." I agreed, yet didn't realize that growing up Santa visited the Bores house on Christmas Eve(ning) while they were at church. Scott and his dad would sit in the car and wait for mom to "finish doing her hair" before they were off to hold candle sticks and sing Silent Night. They'd return home to an empty glass of milk, a few cookie crumbles and presents lying under the tree. He said it was magical.
While holding your lit candle sticks this evening, may we all imagine the real reason we celebrate this season.
"Silent night, Holy night. All is calm, all is bright. Round yon virgin , mother and child. Holy infant so, tender and mild. Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, Holy night. Shepherds quake, at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar. Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah. Christ the Savior is born."
When I moved to Colorado 4 years ago, I realized I didn't have a nativity set. I searched high and low for a manger that had a "removable" baby Jesus. There is just a sense of excitement I get on Christmas morning when I finally get to put the little porcelain baby in the manger and whisper, "Happy birthday Baby Jesus."
From our house to yours, we wish you the most magical Christmas. Although missing my family this year, we will be celebrating our Annual Bores Christmas sleepover at my in-laws. There will be spilled wine, crab legs, dart game competitions, and loads of laughs.

The Catholic Church in Singapore is saddened to learn of the killing of one of our brothers-in-Christ, the 86 year old Reverend Father Jacques Hamel in France in a place of worship. Such cruel acts are designed to instil fear and divisiveness in our society. The Church condemns all acts of terrorism and violence.
We must beware of the danger of using religion for political motives or for spreading an ideology. All true religions must promote peace, love, tolerance and uphold dignity of life of every human person.
We cannot allow acts of terrorism to succeed in dividing our society, or destroy our peaceful co-existence between and among peoples of all religions, races and cultures. It behoves us as government, organisations and individuals to stand together to do everything we can to protect our unity and our way of life.
Let us be vigilant at all times against those who seek to strike fear in our lives and to pray for peace in our country and the world at large.

Brexit uncertainties may be giving fresh impetus to many UK resident non-UK domiciliaries who are thinking about their residency plans. However, for res non-doms, it’s important not to lose sight of another key tax change now on the horizon – the change in the Inheritance Tax (IHT) deemed domiciled rules.
A person is deemed domiciled for IHT purposes if he has been resident in the UK for not less than 17 out of the last 20 tax years, ending with the tax year in question. Even a day’s residence in a tax year will cause that tax year to count as a UK residency year. That’s why a little over 15 calendar years of continued residence can be enough to cause a person to be deemed domiciled, if he takes up residence in the UK right at the end of a UK tax year. Being deemed domiciled for IHT purposes means that all of a person’s estate (broadly that means his directly held assets wherever situated in the world) are subject to 40% IHT on death. This is regardless of his actual domicile. Planning can be undertaken to shelter assets from exposure to IHT before a non-dom becomes deemed domiciled but it is easy to miss the deadline.
Once a person is deemed domiciled, it will take three complete UK tax years of non-residency to lose the deemed domiciled status. So exposure to IHT can continue even after the non-dom has left the UK.
Draft legislation, currently set to be included in the Finance Bill 2017, reduces the 17 year threshold. It is proposed that, with effect from 6 April 2017, UK tax residency of at least 15 years out of the last 20 years in which the year of assessment falls will suffice to cause a person to be deemed domiciled.
As a consequence, res non-doms who are already deemed domiciled under the 17/20 year rule and who decide to leave the UK on or after 6 April 2017 will have to remain non-resident for a minimum of five complete tax years before they lose their exposure to IHT. Res non-doms who will be affected by this but who leave in the current UK tax year will be taxed under the old rules, where deemed domiciled status is lost after three complete tax years outside the UK.
The above position is modified if the person is actually domiciled in one of the few countries with an Estate Duty Double Taxation Treaty with the UK (such as France, Italy and India) or is a widow/widower and has elected to be deemed UK domiciled. All other res non-doms: take note!

Jewel Samad/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Melody C. Barnes preparing to play golf with President Obama on Sunday in Fort Belvoir, Va.
Melody C. Barnes, a White House aide, broke through President Obama’s green ceiling Sunday afternoon.
Ms. Barnes, the president’s chief domestic policy adviser, became the first woman to play a round of golf with Mr. Obama since he tee’d off his presidency in January. The milestone is noteworthy as Mr. Obama has come under criticism recently for hosting a basketball game earlier this month for members of his cabinet and congress that included no women (“Bunk,” Mr. Obama told NBC in an interview last week when asked about the controversy over the estrogen-free game).
Shortly after 1 p.m. on a crisp and sunny fall afternoon, Mr. Obama and Ms. Barnes took to the links at the U.S Army’s Fort Belvoir in Virginia. The president wore a black short-sleeve shirt while Ms. Barnes donned a baseball cap and a dark long-sleeve shirt, according to a White House pool report prepared by Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times.
It was not immediately known what Mr. Obama and Ms. Barnes shot on Sunday.
This story is “Bunk”! Having a slow news day, New York Times?
When it came to having women in the inner circle, Obama talks a good game but W walked it where O merely talks it.
Who cares? I like to play golf with the guys just to be a guy… talk sports, have a beer, tell off-color jokes. The President (any president) has to spend all day being PC and inclusive with the pressure of providing for a nation of people, fighting two wars, and dealing with global crises. Let the guy play some basketball with the guys or pick his Sunday foursome with whomever he wants. Yeesh… this is NOT news.
I thought the Silly Season ended on Labor Day.
I hope she didn’t “let him” win!
I think Obama has long since proved his bona fides as a strong feminist.
But does the absurd media coverage the all-male basketball game has received mean that every time Obama moves a muscle, it wlll be scrutinized for politically correctness according to extreme feminists???
Well, I am certainly confident that anyone who considers the all-male basketball game to be serious evidence of Obama’s sexism would never condone a bunch of women getting together without a male present .
What is this, cable? I read the Times to get away from this silliness.
Seriously? Who cares who he plays golf with? Who cares what kind of clothes he or his guest was wearing? You would think the New York Times would have more to report on with two wars going on and Obama’s rating in the toilet.
I’ve always been a tomboy…sports fan, more comfortable hanging with the guys. I totally understand the bond amongst men, often centered around beer, sports, cigars (i.e. fun stuff!). It’s a wonderful thing, just like the unique bond amongst women. The problem arises when work and important decisions are made during these all-male activities, whether intentional or not. I don’t know what to say ladies…take up golf I suppose.
Unbelievable. This is “political correctness” without common sense. Dangerous.
I am ok if there are baby showers were just women are invited, I am ok if there are sports team only for girls, I am ok if there are bathrooms only for women, and I am ok if the President chooses to play sports with men. People can read way too much into things, and forget context, common sense, perspective and also a bit of humor.
Honestly, if the original story had not been on the front page, I would have thought it was a story from The Onion. I guess when the media is on a quest to find fault with someone, all areas are open.
Shouldn’t Obama first decide about troops in Afghainstan before he takes time off to play golf?
my father made me take golf lessons during junior high school and high school – he said it was for my future. he was right… once the office found out that i played golf, i was invited to play with the “guys.” it’s true… a lot of work issues are discussed during a game – i don’t think it’s intentional but it happens.
Yeah, John Drew, just like it’s a lot easier to be a right wing Christian if you don’t apply all those silly principles to your own life–you know, the ones about feeding the poor, loving your neighbor, and all that nonesense.
Oh, puh-leeeze. Is there really nothing else to talk about?
Many times men are establishing relationships that further their careers when they get togther in activites such as these. Decisions are often made in such settings. If the all male club is sustained, women are put at a disadvantage. The people invited to such events are often the real inner circle. When women are excluded, they are put at a disadvantage.
If HRC had been elected president, how would men like it if she only invited women to all social functions and shut out men? My question is hypothetical since HRC did not win, but it would be interesting to see men’s reactions to such a scenario.
For all of Obama’s talk, I do think he harbors sexist attitudes.
“When it came to having women in the inner circle, Obama talks a good game but W walked it where O merely talks it.
In response to Liz: If you are playing golf with people who are talking about work you aren’t really playing golf.
First of all, obviously the president and his staff seems to have realized that this is a problem. Why else, all of a sudden, Melody Barnes is playing golf with him?
Second, to all those people dismissing this story: it’s not “just” a basketball game. Things like these might seem harmless on the surface, but can actually have a deleterious effect on women’s upward movement in the workplace. It is exactly these kinds of informal, male networks that can give men the edge, when it comes time for performance reviews, bonuses, allocation of juicy assignments, promotions, etc.
This doesn’t mean that men aren’t allowed to play basketball anymore. It just means that corporate bosses need to be a lot of more sensitive about organizing after-work activities that are inclusive of everyone. If that means that you don’t play basketball with your office, but with an external community league, so be it. It won’t be the end of the world. Being an egalitarian leader means having to make some sacrifices.
We women who golf learned a long time ago that it helps solidify relationships, make men more comfortable off the course, and allows boht players to witness outside the office what we should already know from inside the office – namely, how people behave when things go your way – and when they don’t. Is it with honesty, humility, humor, and strength? It’s a great litmus test for any relationship, professional and personal. Good for President Obama for opening up the game.
What Obama organized is a text book example of a boys-only club.
The president is never “off duty,” particularly when interacting with his employees.
Every moment of the president’s day is scheduled. An opportunity to spend time with him is precious to anyone who wants to have an influence on public policy. That’s why some people spend tens – if not hundreds – of thousands of dollars to play a round with him. This is Politics 101.
Every nay-saying commenter here acknowledged that these games help the president bond with his staff and other advisors. Bonding with your boss is important. Women deserve an equal opportunity to do this.
If you don’t think its a problem that, after 22 golf games and numerous basketball games, NO women – until now – were given an equal opportunity to get face time and bond with the president, you are both a sexist and an ignoramus.
And don’t fool yourselves – if a president Hillary Clinton organized 22+ golf games and a dozen bridge games and didn’t invite any male staff, you male reporters and pundits and commenters would be shrieking with outrage. You’d be crying about man-hating and calling for her impeachment. Admit it.
We do NOT need a White House modeled on Mad Men. If that’s the change B. has in mind, he can stuff it.
