The Anchorage Fire and Police departments will be competing once again in their annual hockey competition game, Guns ‘n Hoses.



The Guns ‘n Hoses event is held each year as a charity event for local charities. This year proceeds will be donated to the American Diabetes Association. Last year’s event raised about $31,000.



The “Guns” hockey team, of course, represents the Anchorage Police Department while the Hoses hockey team represents the Anchorage Fire Department. The game will be played at the Sullivan Arena on Sunday, December 13.It should be an exciting game, as the Guns try to even up the “score” and the Hoses fight to maintain the their lead in the most games won. The Hoses have won 6 of the 8 games played over the past years.


Those attending the game will also be entertained with various demonstrations by both the Anchorage Firefighters and the Anchorage Police, including a demonstration by the K-9 and SWAT units.Sparky (Fire Department mascot) and Buddy Bear (Police department mascot) will be on hand to give out special goodies to all the children.Those attending should also remember to bring their ice skates as they will be given the chance to skate with the players on both teams after the game.

You may purchase Tickets for the Anchorage Guns ‘n Hoses Hockey game at any police or fire station or from the Anchorage American Diabetes Association. Tickets are only $7 per person or you may purchase a family pass (6 people) for only $25

How was JC Superstar???? My momma raised me on the movie of that musical .
