Friends and co-workers on the streets, yet fierce competitors and opponents on the ice; the First Responder Face-Off™ pits the Columbus Fire Department against the Columbus Police Department in the annual rivalry on ice. Up for grabs is the Buckeye Cup trophy and the bragging rights for the next year. These two teams leave it all out on the ice!

Proceeds from the event benefit the Hockey Helping Heroes™  initiative of the First Responder Face-Off Foundation in support of First Responders and their families across Central Ohio.
