5 Things, March 29: Guns 'N Hoses Hockey Game Between Stoughton Police and Fire This Weekend

"Five Things you Need to Know Today" is a Patch column that provides readers with essential, daily information at a glance:

1. Annual Guns 'N Hoses Hockey Game

The seventh annual Guns 'N Hoses hockey game between the Stoughton Police Department and the Stoughton Fire Department will be played Saturday, March 30 at the Canton Sportsplex (5 Carver Circle in Canton, located just over the Stoughton line off Turnpike St./Route 139).

The event is a fundraiser for the Friends of Stoughton Hockey (F.O.S.H.) group.

The game starts at 6 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. Admission is free, but donations will be accepted at the door. There will be a silent auction.

The Police Department won the first four games in this series, but after two-straight wins for the SFD, the police only hold a 4-2 game advantage in the six year history of the Guns ‘N Hoses event.
