The Bridgeport Sound Tigers announced today that they will host a charity hockey game on Saturday, Dec. 18 at 4:00 p.m. between the Bridgeport and Worcester Fire Departments to benefit the Bridgeport Fallen Firefighters Fund.
"We are extremely excited and proud to hold this event," said Bridgeport Firefighter Joe Lachioma. "We've worked with the Sound Tigers for years and this is a great way to honor those who have lost their lives while trying to save others."
