Police and firefighters have had a friendly rivalry since the birth of emergency civil services, and on Jan. 25 Prince George's RCMP officers and firefighters will put that rivalry to the test on the ice.
The third annual Sirens Cup Charity Hockey Game happens Jan. 25 at Kopar Memorial Arena. Game time is 2 p.m.
“We have partnered with the Spruce Kings to bring this charity hockey game to fans in Prince George once again," states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, the Prince George RCMP's media relations officer. "The funds raised through ticket sales and during the game will be split evenly between our chosen charities: Cops for Cancer Tour de North and the Prince George Firefighters Charitable Society. Last year we raised over $6,000 for charity and we hope to exceed that amount this year."
The firefighters won 9-5 in the inaugural Sirens Cup in 2022. Last year the police celebrrated a 4-3 victory.
Tickets are $5 and are available at the Spruce Kings office and online (English only) at www.sprucekings.bc.ca/sirenscup.
