EVENT
DETAILS
Play, Watch and Donate to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation!
We are back in 2022! January 14 & 15, 2022
Come watch the finest "red-carded" hockey players face off in a winner-take-all tournament! The event is a chance for the Minnesota wildland fire "community" to play the great game of hockey, curl and raise money for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation (WFF). The WFF supports firefighters and their families when line of duty injuries and fatalities occur. This private non-profit organization exists to support agency, municipal, volunteer, and private firefighters in ways insurance and other sources cannot. For more information, visit www.wffoundation.org.
​
Admission is FREE to the public! The tournament features a curling bonspiel on Friday evening, a hockey tournament Saturday with music, announcing, referees, and all the excitement of a great hockey tournament. An all-ages Skate with Smokey Bear and pizza for the kids on Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening wraps up with a banquet and silent auction.
