Game over, record set, mission accomplished. The 11 Day Power Play wrapped up early Monday in HarborCenter, successfully achieving its lofty goals in a cause launched months ago to support cancer research.
The final whistle sounded shortly before 8 a.m., ending 11 days of continuous regulation hockey. The game set a new record length just after 7:03 a.m., surpassing the previous mark set by a similar charity effort in Alberta.
The final score was 1,725 goals for the blue team and 1,697 for the white team. But the more important number announced at the conclusion of the game was $1.2 million. That was the amount raised for Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
