The Dufferin Ontario Provincial Police and the Orangeville Fire Department will play their third annual charity hockey game on March 21, 2026, in Orangeville, Ontario. The match takes place at the Alder Street Recreation Centre, also known as Alder Arena, to raise money for local organizations.

This yearly game has become a community tradition where emergency responders face off in a friendly rivalry on the ice. During the 2025 event, the teams raised $12,000 to benefit Dufferin Child and Family Services and the Orangeville Food Bank.

The game gives residents a chance to watch their local police and firefighters compete while supporting community needs. Organizers hope to continue the success of previous years by increasing the total amount of donations for these local groups.

Families and hockey fans can attend the event to enjoy the game and interact with emergency services in a positive setting. All funds collected through ticket sales and donations go directly toward helping families and residents in the local area.
