YouTube stars test Leighton with tricky shootout

The Play For A Cure tournament took a break during the lunch hour for the Woody's Hoodies Shootout Challenge featuring YouTube stars Zac Bell and Pavel Barber. The dynamic duo got to challenge their trick shots against former NHL goalie Michael Leighton. "I had one guy do it in an all-star game. I literally went like this (lifted arms) and it hit my elbow. It's amazing what these guys can do with a puck." Leighton said.



The guys did well but so did Leighton who held his own against moves he never saw in the NHL. "He was phenomenal," Barber said of Leighton. "He made those reads well. He told us he saw some of our moves before so I think he did a great job of scouting and he did a phenomenal job in net for sure."


Check out the shootout in the video below brought to you by the St. Clair College Alumni Association.



Play For A Cure is a grassroots Pro-Am hockey tournament raising funds for local cancer research through the Cancer Research Collaboration Fund. The event started with a draft Thursday night at Caesars Windsor where it was announced $404,000 was raised leading up to this year's event. Through four events, beginning in 2019, Play For A Cure has raised about $1.6 million dollars.

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
