Sliby 'Blessed' to Have Community Support [VIDEO]

Terri Sliby was a self-admitted "nervous wreck" Saturday afternoon.

Sliby, a waitress at Hampton's Kitchen at Depot Square, wasn't sure what she was supposed to do while dropping the puck for a ceremonial opening faceoff at the Rinks at Exeter, although it didn't show as a couple hundred friends, loved ones and community members cheered her name at the start of an event in her honor.

Local comedian Josh Dolan and former Boston Bruins players Rick Middleton and Kenny Linseman, both of whom live in Hampton, helped organize a charity hockey game Saturday afternoon for Sliby, who was .

The above video captures some of the festivities of the event — which featured the Boston Bruins alumni team squaring off against a team of local and Boston-area comedians — as well as insight from Sliby about how these community gestures have helped her through a difficult time.

Sliby will begin radiation treatment five days a week for six and a half months starting in the third week of December. The radiation is her eagerly-awaited final course of treatment for the cancer.

"I've had enough," said Sliby with a smile.

Sliby also plans to return to work on Friday, Dec. 7, and continue working during the radiation treatments. Money raised from Saturday's game will help cover the cost of the radiation, as well as her past treatments.
