Police-fire hockey game set for Saturday

YOUNGSTOWN — Officers and Firefighters of the Youngstown area Police and Fire Departments will meet each other on the ice rink to engage in the Guns “N” Hoses Hockey Game at 5 p.m. on Saturday at the Covelli Centre. A part of the attendance price will benefit of the Michael Hartzell Scholarship Fund.

This same night, at the Covelli Centre, the Youngstown Phantoms will take on the Fargo Force at 7:15 p.m. .

The public may pick up a flyer at the Youngstown Police Department then present it at the Covelli Centre box office when purchasing a ticket. One ticket will enable them to see both games and the Michael Hartzell Scholarship Fund will receive $3 for each flyer presented when purchasing a ticket. Tickets cost $9 and $11 at the Covelli Centre box office. Officer Michael Hartzell was shot to death while working night-turn cruiser duty on April 29, 2003. His assailant, Martin Kolesar, later committed suicide on Ohio’s death row.
