Saturday, March 24 at 5:20 p.m., The Stoughton Fire and Police Departments are set to face off in the Sixth Annual  Benefit Hockey Game.

In February, the two teams faced each other to raise money for the Fisher House. In an  the two teams were deadlocked at a goal a piece when the final seconds ticked off the clock. 

This time the two departments will face off to raise money for Friends Of Stoughton Hockey (F.O.S.H.). 

F.O.S.H. is a 501 (c) non-profit organization dedicated to helping young hockey players improve their hockey skills. Each year F.O.S.H. conducts a skills camp for JV and Varsity players pre-season. They assist the Middle School team with weekly practice ice for their full season of play in the Junior High League at Foxboro Sports Center. 

At the conclusion of each season, F.O.S.H. recognizes all players from each team with a banquet and awards ceremony. 

To keep alumni involved in the Stoughton Hockey family, F.O.S.H. organizes an annual alumni game and gathering. This year's alumni game takes place at the Asiaf on March 24 following the conclusion of the Guns 'N Hoses game.

Perhaps the most important contribution F.O.S.H. makes is the awarding of up to six $500 scholarships to graduating seniors.   

Admission to the Guns 'N Hoses game is free; donations are accepted at the door. A silent auction and raffle will also be held during the game. 

Doors open at 5 p.m. Donations or items for auction can be made by contacting Laura Sheehan at friendsofstoughtonhockey@hotmail.com. More information on Friends Of Stoughton Hockey can be found at www.stoughtonhockey.org.
