The 6th annual charity hockey game that supports the Troy Police Benevolent Fund will be held at the Troy Sports Center on Friday, February 23rd at 7:00 p.m. This family friendly event features the Troy Police Hockey Team taking on the Detroit Redwing Alumni Team. The event began as a way to remember and honor Troy Police Officer Charles Mulvihill who suffered a medical emergency while on-duty, from which he passed away in September of 2001.
A silent auction featuring sports memorabilia, gift certificates to local restaurants, and an assortment of other merchandise will be held in conjunction with the event. Troy Police Hockey Team “wearables” will also be available for purchase at the game. Troy City Manager Phil Nelson and Assistant City Manager Brian Murphy, are this year’s honorary Troy PD Team coach and assistant coach, respectively.
Members of the Redwing Alumni team make themselves available during and after the game for autographs and general interaction with the fans. Admission is $10 for the game.
A post game party wherein members of the Redwings Alumni Team are generally on-hand will be held at Norm’s Field of Dreams at 1090 Rochester in Troy. Admission for the post-game party and game is $20.00, which includes food. There will be a cash bar.
For Tickets, call Sue Himrod, Pete Pizzorni, or Terry Harrison at 248-524-3452.
All proceeds from the evening’s events benefit the Troy Police and Fire Department Benevolent Fund. The fund assists families of emergency service personnel who experience the loss or serious injury of loved ones in duty-related incidents.
