Sept. 19th Adult Division. Instead of asking players to block off a weekend, we compressed everything that makes a tournament great into a single, action-packed morning. Register as an individual, and you'll be drafted onto one of three teams — Red, White, or Blue — the same way a real tournament team comes together, minus the months of planning it usually takes to get one on the books.

From there, it's a full slate of hockey: three round-robin games, a semifinal, and a championship, all played out on September 19th between 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM. You walk in not knowing your team, and you walk out three hours later having played in an actual tournament, with a champion crowned and a story to tell without giving up your whole Saturday.

At Hasek's Heroes, we don't just develop hockey players. We develop student athletes and student comes first on purpose.

We believe a child who's engaged in school, who reads, who challenges themselves academically, and who takes their education seriously will also be a better teammate, a more coachable player, and a more successful person. The skills required to be a great student and the skills required to be a great athlete are the same skills: discipline, focus, consistency, and the willingness to keep working even when it's hard.

When a child leaves Hasek's Heroes, we want them to carry this identity with them into high school, into college, and into life.

Give 716 kicks off at 7:16 pm on July 15th and runs through 11:59 pm on July 16th. 716 Day, named for Buffalo's area code. Over the years, the campaign has grown into one of the region's signature events, bringing together individuals, businesses, and organizations from across Erie, Niagara, Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming, Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua counties for one shared purpose: lifting up the nonprofits that serve our community every day.

Hasek's Heroes is honored to be one of the organizations included in this year's Give 716, standing alongside hundreds of other local charities all working to make Western New York a better place.

On June 26th, the same day the first round of the NHL Draft got underway at KeyBank Center, a handful of Hasek's Heroes kids laced up their skates for the experience of a lifetime: sharing the ice with the top prospects in this year's draft class. Projected first overall pick Gavin McKenna was on the ice alongside fellow top prospects Chase Reid, Keaton Verhoeff, Caleb Malhotra, and several others all just hours away from hearing their names called.

Buffalo native Lawton Zacher finished 2025-2026 tied 2nd in the NCAA with a .929 save % and 1st with 5 shutouts. He’s coming home to partner with Hasek’s Heroes and give back to the next generation of Buffalo Hockey kids.

Maddie didn't just complete the Cleveland Marathon — she crushed it. Setting a goal of 4:30:00, she crossed the finish line in an incredible 4:08:38, besting her target by more than 20 minutes.

But her impact didn't stop there. Through her fundraising efforts, Maddie raised $1,000 for Hasek's Heroes
