Hoses beat out guns at a friendly hockey game between 91原创 RCMP and firefighters on Friday night, April 6 at the 91原创 Events Centre that raised money for Cops for Cancer.

鈥淲e鈥檙e really not focusing on who won and who lost. The real winners are the kids,鈥� said 91原创 RCMP Cpl. Craig van Herk, whose Mounties were on the losing end. Van Herk has been involved, both as a rider and now as an organizer of the local Cops for Cancer Tour as chair of the regional committee and will be on the support team for the tour.

Around $5,000 was raised from the evening that saw face painting and other fun events going on at the same time as the game. Cops for Cancer raises money to help children with cancer.

Van Herk has been involved for years, and he said it鈥檚 hard not to be.

鈥淥nce you meet one of these kids with cancer and you meet so many families, and see how impacted they are, you want to be part of helping,鈥� said van Herk.

91原创 Township Mayor Jack Froese came out and donated $50 for every goal scored in the game.

鈥淭he score was nine to six, so he had to pay out $750 from his own pocket. That was very generous,鈥� said van Herk.

Hardest shot was recorded at 135 km/hr. There was also a shootout.
