At the same time he\u2019s training for this event, Justen will be <a href=\"https:\/\/communityshift.11daypowerplay.com\/justen\">hoping to raise $20,000<\/a> to help the event reach its goal of $1,000,000. As of April 1, he\u2019s already over $9,000.<\/p>\n<p>Justen has played in this event since the event began in 2017, playing as an ode to his mother. Justen\u2019s mother, Sherrie, was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in 2016 and passed away in December 2017 after Justen played in the inaugural event. Sherrie watched Justen play all 11-days when he participated in the event in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was driving to work one day and heard about it on the radio promoting the event, and I signed up immediately,\u201d Justen said. \u201cThat was my way of wanting to fight for her and everybody else in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Training for this game is intense. Justen said his team is currently being trained by Excelsior Orthopedics, whose certified Athletic Trainers often train professional and Olympic athletes.<\/p>\n<p>With the event seven months away, overnight skates, running, dieting, and even sleep training has already begun. After all, Justen will be sleeping, eating, and spending all 11 days of this event at the hockey rink. There\u2019s no going home to refresh. Over 250 straight hours either at the hockey rink or in a locker room acting as a makeshift dormitory, waiting until your shift gets called every eight hours or so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou play hockey more than you sleep,\u201d Justen said. \u201cIt\u2019s quite the physical gauntlet, but it is really just as much a mental battle as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Justen has raised upwards of $40,000 since 2017 while participating in this event.
