The Niagara Power was a collegiate summer baseball team in the New York Collegiate Baseball League (NYCBL). The team owner and general manager was Cal Kern. The team played their home games at Sal Maglie Stadium in Niagara Falls, New York. The Power played a 46-game schedule, with 23 home games at Sal Maglie Stadium[1] for nine seasons, from 2007 through 2015.

After missing the playoffs in each of its first four seasons, Niagara made playoff appearances in four of the last five seasons (2011, 2012, 2014 & 2015), taking home the Western Division Championship in 2012. Niagara lost to the eventual NYCBL champion in its last three playoff appearances (Syracuse in 2012, Hornell in 2014 & Olean in 2015). Niagara was the only team to take at least one game against Hornell during the 2014 playoffs and a game against Olean in the 2015 playoffs.

The team was a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a charitable organization which encourages community outreach among athletes.[2] The Power were noted for their service to the Niagara community.[3]
