The Portland
Firefighters Hockey Club was formed in July 2004. Since that time
we have competed in many tournaments, have won one championship in
June 2005, and have contributed in raising money for the
National Childhood Cancer Foundation, ALS foundation, and
MDA.
The PFHC competes against Seattle Fire Hockey
Club in charity games twice a year and raise money from
ticket sales for local charities. It's always a great game for a
great cause. In February of 2007 we played to support our own
Portland Firefighter who's son is battling cancer. He was there
to enjoy the game and loved every minute of it. The game puck was
presented to him, as the fan of the game.
Our latest firefighter tournament was in Kamloops,
B.C. in March 2007 where we joined 50 other teams in the anual
IAFF Hockey Tournament to raise money for the Burn Foundation.
Our next big tournament will be in Mesa, Arizona at the Western States
Police and Fire Games in the fall 2007. It is sure to be another
amazing tournament with many Police and Fire hockey teams
attending.
Thanks to our generous sponsors: Portland
Professional Firefighters Association Local 43, MSA, Seawestern
and Tualatin
Valley Professional Firefighters Association Local 1660 for making the
donations to the charities possible. Also Thanks to the Portland
WinterHawks for helping with fund raising.
