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.

For the past five 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 our fifth year(2012) the All Day Power Play topped the $100,000 raised mark. All for a great cause: Nashua Children's Home.

On July 20-21, once again we skate for the kids of NCH. We invite any and all to stop by Cyclones Arena in Hudson to watch some hockey, donate some money, and give a blessing to the kids. Every dollar raised at ADPP goes directly to NCH.
This event would not exist if it were not for the players that raise funds, come to the rink, spend a sleepless night skating away the darkness until the sun comes up. They do it all for a great cause, they do it without complaints, they do it because they are hockey players, young and old, from 7 to 63. All ages, all races, all religions playing for one day side by side in a rink tucked away in the woods of Hudson NH. all for a great cause, they do it because they love to play, they want to participate in something unique, they want to help Nashua Children's Home be able to help those kids that have no place else to go.
