ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Solar Bears will host their annual First Responders Appreciation Night and Guns N' Hoses charity game on Saturday, March 16, when Orlando hosts the Idaho Steelheads at the ARS.com Rink at Amway Center at 7 p.m.
The seventh annual Guns N' Hoses game features the Central Florida Enforcers police hockey team against the Orange County Fire Rescue hockey team at 2 p.m. The Central Florida Enforcers are raising money through ticket sales to the game to benefit Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), while the Orange County Fire Rescue are raising money for the St. Baldrick's Foundation to assist children with cancer.
