The on ice rivalry between the city's RCMP detachment on Sixth Avenue West and the Prince Rupert Fire Hall on First Avenue west made the rounds of the city's schools this week.
With a pair of mascots taking the word of Saturday night's upcoming Guns N Hoses showdown at the Jim to the city's students.
The members of the Fire Fighters have been making note of the even through social media in recent days.
The annual Guns and Hoses hockey match up is making a return to the ice following a few years of suspension during the COVID period.
This week, the Mounties have made use of their Weekly Wanted series to put out the call for the public to assemble in the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre on Saturday night for the hockey showdown.
With funds from the night to be directed to the Kidsport chapter in Prince Rupert, that program helps to reduce the cost of participation in local sports in the city.

Tickets are $10 and are available at Cook's Jewelers, Rupert Cleaners as well available at the door the night of, kids under 12 will get in for free!
Media Relations Officer Cst. Brody Hemrich noted of the two year absence for the event and how the members on both sides are ready to get back to the ice
"After a two year hiatus it's exciting to see this event back up and running. Even though we're playing to win we are also excited to come together and raise money for a deserving charity, KidSport BC, who help countless families gain access to sport every year."
