What is that?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The world\u2019s longest hockey game to help raise money to fight cancer!<\/h1>\n

Thousands watched opening ceremonies Thursday as the teams began their games on Harbor Center ice in downtown Buffalo.\u00a0 You are invited to watch them play this week as teams take rotation in their “goal” to raise over $1 million dollars for cancer research, and break a world record.<\/p>\n

Playing hockey for 11 days straight isn\u2019t exactly easy. But when the players were asked to take part in something bigger than hockey, they didn\u2019t hesitate for a second. Listen to their personal stories and learn what inspires each of them to keep playing.<\/p>\n

A huge thank you to Pegula Sports & Entertainment and the Buffalo Sabres for making this video possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
