On Sunday, 40 people will attempt to play hockey in downtown Buffalo for 11 straight days, raising money to fight cancer as part of the fifth edition of the 11-Day Power Play. 

Not surprisingly, three of those literally living in the rink will be “Men for Others.” 

Three Canisius High School graduates will be on the ice for up to 10 hours a day, around the clock, from start to finish: Peter Merlo ’88 and Michael Meade ’87 will play while Mark Paradowski ’99 will be one of three officials skating regular shifts, just like the players. When they’re not part of the game, they’ll be sleeping on temporary beds a few steps from the rink at Buffalo Riverworks.

IAS is one of the world's leading centers for theoretical research and intellectual inquiry. 

Dr. Renier Brentjens '85 has come back to Buffalo for "the opportunity of a lifetime."

Gift from Michael Madden '67 to go toward Canisius' new Center for Global Learning.
