Usually they work together to serve and protect the people of Prince George, but on Saturday, Feb. 25 the Prince George Firefighters and Prince George RCMP will be facing off against each other in a battle for hockey bragging rights.
The Prince George Spruce Kings are sponsoring the inaugural Sirens Cup Charity Hockey Game between the firefighter and the police – part of a hockey doubleheader which will have the Spruce Kings taking on the top-ranked Penticton Vees in a BCHL game that follows that evening at Kopar Memorial Arena.
Tickets purchased for the charity game at 4:30 p.m. will be good for admission to the Spruce Kings-Vees game at 7 p.m.
All money raised in Sirens Cup game will be divided between the Prince George RCMP Victim Services Society and the Prince George Firefighters Charitable Society.
“We have partnered with the Prince George Firefighters to bring the traditional police officer vs. firefighter hockey game to Prince George,” said Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media relations officer for the Prince George RCMP. “We’re really excited to be bringing this event to Prince George.”
The Spruce Kings will be in Burns Lake this weekend for the BCHL Road Show to play the Salmon Arm Silverbacks this Saturday (7 p.m.) and Sunday (noon).
