Police & Fire Holiday Hockey Classic Returns

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The 6th annual Saratoga Springs Holiday Hockey Classic is set for November 16 at 6 p.m. at the Weibel Ice Rink. Firefighters and police officers from Saratoga Springs will square off in support of the Franklin Community Center’s Holiday Assistance Program. Admission to the game is free with the donation of a new and unwrapped toy (or monetary donation).

The Holiday Assistance Program is a longstanding tradition of the Franklin Community Center, supporting hundreds of local families every year. Last year, the Hockey Classic resulted in almost 1,000 toys collected and more than $2,000 in donations. 

Those who wish to donate but can’t attend the game can drop off toys at collection boxes at Fire Station #1 at 60 Lake Avenue, Fire Station #2 at 166 West Avenue, the police department at 5 Lake Avenue, and Kings Tavern at 241 Union Avenue. The collection boxes will be accepting donations until the morning of November 16. All collected donations will be delivered in early December to the Franklin Community Center via Saratoga Springs Fire Department and Police Department vehicles.
