Skaters from the Halifax Skating Club will perform, plus Crazy Claude-the Trumpeteer, the Call to Recycle Tykes, Laser Shows, giveaways and more will add to this exciting event.

The Municipal Association of Police Personnel is proud to be part of the Oldtimers’ Hockey Challenge - family fun entertainment that raises money for charity.  A portion of the proceeds from each ticket will go to the Nova Scotia Hearing & Speech Foundation Sound Start Program.
