ROYAL OAK — The Guns and Hoses charity hockey game raised $83,000 May 11 for the Love, Team Tessa foundation.
Five police officers and eight firefighters went head to head with the Detroit Red Wings Alumni, losing 11-5.
That was expected, according to firefighter Jimmy Sharkey, an organizer of the 2024 Guns and Hoses event.
The point of the game was not to win or lose, but to raise money for an important cause, and nearly 400 people showed up to the event, according to Sharkey.
