(HURON COUNTY, ON) – Hockey fans of all ages get set for an exciting charity hockey game this Saturday afternoon. The game billed, “Guns-N-Hoses” will see officers from the local Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Detachment taking on firefighters from the Goderich Fire Department (GFD).
All proceeds from the event will be supporting two great charities. The Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund (DMMF) & the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign. In fact, during a pre-game ceremony the DMMF will be honouring one of our fallen heroes from the North Perth Fire Department with a special defibrillator presentation.
More than a just a hockey game, this event has been become a fun-filled, family event that kids and adults look forward to each year. All fans will have the chance to win prizes graciously donated by local businesses and supporters. In addition, a silent auction fundraiser will be taking place throughout the afternoon offering a wide variety of items, including some unique autographed items.
A few other surprises for the fans are planned so stop by the YMCA in Goderich for a great time. Puck drop is Saturday, April 11, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. A free family skate will be taking place before the game from 2:00 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.
Advance tickets ($2.50) are available at the YMCA front desk. Children 5 and under are free.
