East Lansing, MI – A popular community hockey event is returning, bringing together local first responders and fans for an afternoon of competition and charity.
According to event organizers, the 2nd Annual Hometown Hero’s Hockey Showdown takes place Saturday, February 7, at 4 p.m. at Munn Ice Arena on the campus of Michigan State University. The game features a rematch between the Capital Area Lawmen and the Capital City Hosers, representing area law enforcement and fire departments.
The inaugural event last year raised more than $10,000 for a local charity. Organizers say this year’s goal is to exceed that total, with proceeds again benefiting a community-based charitable organization.
The Capital City Hosers are seeking redemption after last year’s loss and have added new players to their roster, while the Capital Area Lawmen are expected to return with reinforcements of their own. The event is designed to be family-friendly, encouraging residents across East Lansing, Ingham County, the Greater Lansing area, and mid-Michigan to attend.
Doors open at 3:30 p.m., with tickets available at the door for $10 per person. Children 12 and under are admitted free. Cash and Venmo will be accepted, and MSU concessions will be open during the game.
Organizers encourage fans to arrive early and show support for local first responders while contributing to a good cause.
