Tickets are now on sale for a growing and much-loved Ottawa tradition that supports Canadian soldiers in need, and their families. 

On May 26, 2016, the Ottawa-based media will take on the Canadian military General Officers and Flag Officers (GOFOs) in the fifth instalment of what has become a fierce on-ice competition in the name of charity.

This winter rematch follows four previous games, three of which left the Esprit de Corps Commandos victorious, and in the last game, former Chief of Defence Staff, Tom Lawson joined the Esprit de Corps team to face-off against General Jonathan Vance and his GOFO squad.

But the real winner of this series of fundraising games has been the Military Family Resource Centre for the National Capital Region, which provides a myriad of unique services for the 11,000 military members, 8,000 spouses, and 9,000 children living in the Ottawa area.

In total, proceeds from these hockey games have raised almost $20,000 for the local organization.

Tickets are just $10 with all proceeds going to fundraising efforts. 

Surprise celebrity guests will be present, and there will be raffles for incredible prizes from our sponsors.
