Official FDNY Hockey Store
Buying apparel from the FDNY's official hockey store will not only add something special to your wardrobe, it will also directly support the FDNY hockey team, firemen, and the families of firemen who suffer illness, tragedy, and loss. In addition to showing your support for New York City's Bravest, you will also be giving back to the brave men and women who risk their lives to help protect and preserve the greatest city in the world.
I had the pleasure of watching the fire department's hockey team face off against the New York Riveters in the NWHL's preseason. Watching those men take to the ice with "BRAVEST" on their backs instead of their last names over their numbers was truly a privilege and it was amazing to see just how well they play the game.
"The team is very excited to play at Madison Square Garden this year. It will be a great game that will help raise money for great causes. We thank Madison Square Garden for having us and treating us so well. The game will be sold out shortly so please get your tickets now if you plan on attending."
-Derek Kern, Manager of FDNY hockey team

There can never be enough hockey -- especially when the game is a special event like this one. Besides, how often do we get the chance to cheer alongside Islanders fans at the Garden?
