Nashua Children's Home

Nashua Children's Home is committed to the care, welfare and educational achievement of children and youth within its Residential and Educational Programs, and the successful transition to adult living of young men and women in its Transitional Living Program. Nashua Children's Home provides care and stability to boys and girls unable to remain with their families, special education services for students who have not been successful in public school settings, and supportive housing for youth that have "aged-out" of care.

St. Joseph Hospital

St. Joseph Healthcare is a regional, full-service healthcare system serving the Greater Nashua area, western New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts. We are building on a century of service to meet the growing needs of our community through innovation, leading-edge technology, and the highest-quality medical care, our tradition since 1908.

Cyclones Arena

The All Day Power Play could not take place without the overwhelming generosity of Joe & Bill Flanagan and Wes Dolloff, the owners of Cyclones Arena. Their donation of both sheets of ice for 24 hours is an enormous gift to both Nashua Children's Home and those skating in this worthy event, not to mention the staffing required to operate the arena and maintain the ice for us. Please visit their website to learn about all the figure skating, freestyle skating, public skating and learn-to-play hockey programs they offer, as well as Northern Cyclones junior and youth hockey teams, camps and tournaments.



Our History:
The inaugural All Day Power Play to benefit Nashua Children's Home was held in July 2008. A grass roots local effort to help raise money for Nashua Children's Home, it was not clear at the time if the event would be a success, if anyone would want to participate, or even how much money it would raise. An amazing thing happened, the brotherhood of hockey players united, and they skated, and they raised nearly $25,000. The event was the most successful fund raising event in NCH's history and it sparked a new tradition.

The Tradition:
For the past four years the All Day Power Play has been a staple of summertime hockey across New England, with the addition of players making the long trip down from Canada, we had our first international participants during the 2011 event. Cyclones Arena in Hudson NH. opens its doors to a group of hockey players intent on skating the day away, literally. For 24 hours these 60 or so ironmen and women play hockey but most importantly they help raise money for an organization that has in recent years seen its budgets severely cut. In just four years The All Day Power Play has raised nearly $100,000 for Nashua Children's Home.

The Future:
The All Day Power Play 5th anniversary event will take place once again, we hope, at Cyclones Arena in Hudson, NH. Some time in July, dates have not been decided upon but as soon as we have a commitment we will be sure to pass the information along. If you are interested in joining forces with the All Day Power Play and would like to help raise money for Nashua Children's Home by participating in this year's event please send an email to info@alldaypowerplay.net
