The Simon Fraser University hockey team will be playing an exhibition charity game against the Burnaby firefighters at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Saturday, Dec. 17.
All proceeds will benefit the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society's nutritional snack program for local schools.
Following the game, there will be a public skate with the firefighters and SFU hockey players, so bring your skates.
Tickets available at Scoff's Hockey Shop or at the door.
Earlier in the month, SFU salvaged a 3-3 tie after giving up three goals in the middle period to the University of Victoria in B.C. Intercollegiate hockey last week.
The club Clan jumped out to a 2-0 first-period lead on goals by Ben Van Lare and Tony Oak at the Ian Stewart Complex in Victoria.
But UVic roared back at the start of the second period to tie the contest 2-2 in a five-minute span.
Barry Moscone of Burnaby put the visitors ahead a minute later, but again UVic was able to draw even.
The final period was scoreless.
