The Barrie Police Service and the Barrie Fire and Emergency Service will meet on the ice for a charity hockey game on March 20, 2026, at Sadlon Arena in Barrie, Ontario. The event, known as the 911 Crosstown Classic, is a head-to-head match designed to bring the community together for a fun competition.
All money raised from the game will be donated to Hospice Simcoe and the Seasons Centre for Grieving Children. These organizations provide compassionate end-of-life care and bereavement support services to local residents and their families.
This annual rivalry allows local emergency workers to show off their hockey skills while raising awareness for healthcare and community programs in the region. Tickets are now on sale for the competition, which organizers describe as an important fundraising fixture for the city.
Residents are encouraged to attend the game at Sadlon Arena to support the teams and the local causes they represent. The 911 Crosstown Classic continues to be a staple event that focuses on community engagement and helping those in need.
