Saratoga Springs Firefighters v. Police Holiday Hockey Classic

SARATOGA SPRINGS — On. Nov. 20, the Saratoga Springs Firefighters will be hosting the Saratoga Springs Police PBA in their annual Holiday Hockey Classic. The game will be held at the Weibel Ice Rink in Saratoga Springs with doors opening at 6 p.m. This game is played to benefit the Franklin Community Center in Saratoga Springs. The cost of admission is free with any donation of a new and unwrapped toy that will be distributed by the Franklin Community Center with the goal of providing the opportunity that every child in the local area can wake up Christmas morning and find a present under the tree. 

This game has been responsible for hundreds of toys that have been collected and donated in recent times. Prior to last year’s game being cancelled because of COVID, the toys donated have increased every year, with the goal to continue that increased amount of donations collected this year. In addition to the toys collected the night of the game, toy collection boxes have been set up at the Lake Ave firehouse, West Ave firehouse, Saratoga Springs Police Department, Kings Tavern, and Panza’s on the Lake. Donations will be accepted at those locations until the day of the game. 

In addition to the toy collection, there will be raffle items available the night of the game from various sponsors with the goal of raising additional cash donations that will go directly to the Franklin Community Center in addition to the toy donations.
