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.
