Cops For Cancer Cup

Venerable Queens Park arena was the venue on Wednesday, March 21st for the inaugural NWPD Cops for Cancer Cup, as the New Westminster Police Blues Hockey Club took on the New Westminster Senior Salmonbellies in a charity hockey game. Tied 7-7 after 60 minutes of play, the Senior Salmonbellies carried the day winning 2-1 in the shootout.

The real winner on the night however was Cops for Cancer, as over $1500 was raised towards this worthy cause. Cops for Cancer is celebrating its 15th anniversary in BC this year, and since its inception in 1998 it has expanded across the Province into four incredibly successful Tours which have raised almost $25 million collectively to fun pediatric cancer programs and research.
