Firefighters face Leafs alumni Jan. 8

The Guelph Firefighters’ 17th annual benfit hockey game will take place Jan. 8 at 2pm at the Sleeman Centre.

The Guelph Firefighter All-Stars will face off against the Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni, featuring Brad May, Gary Roberts and Gary Leeman.

This annual game is a family event that organizers say includes lots of skill and lots of laughs.

Proceeds from the game go to the Firefighters Benevolent Foundation, which is used to assist area hospitals in purchasing medical and emergency equipment. The fund has risen over $500,000 since it began in 1984.

Money is used to purchase electric beds and crash carts, as well as contribute toward the C.T. scanner, dialysis machine and equipment for the chemotherapy unit.
