A good old hockey game for a good cause is set for puck-drop Friday night.

The 4th annual Guns vs. Hoses charity game, an event featuring members of the Winnipeg Patrolmen hockey club and the Winnipeg firefighters hockey team, is ready to go at the MTS IcePlex, starting at 7 p.m.

The two teams will be joined by Hockey Hall of Fame member Doug Gilmour, along with ex-Winnipeg Jets Laurie Boschman, Ab McDonald, and Joe Daley.

All money raised will go to the ‘Courage for Corey’ fund. Corey Schroeder, a paramedic, was hospitalized with second and third-degree burns following an explosion that occurred while he was renovating his condo.

The Guns vs. Hoses hockey event has raised approximately $30,000 for charity since its inception.

Paramedics in Winnipeg and across the province are also raising funds for Schroeder at gofundme.com.
