Our mission is to provide a hockey team for local firefighters, EMS workers, and other first responders. Participation in the team promotes the physical and mental well-being of first responders and raises awareness of the volunteer fire service within the community. Games played also provide a venue to raise awareness and funds for other charitable purposes.
