One of New Westminster’s favorite hockey rivalries is back! On Saturday, November 7, the New Westminster Firefighters and the New Westminster Police Department will hit the ice at Queen’s Park Arena for the 2026 KidSport New West Fall Classic.

This high-energy matchup is far more than just a hockey game—it’s a full family event packed with community spirit, lively entertainment, delicious options from local food trucks and concessions, a 50/50 raffle, and the fan-favorite chuck-a-duck toss!

Most importantly, every ticket purchased and duck tossed helps raise essential funding for KidSport New West, ensuring local youth have access to sports opportunities regardless of financial barriers.

Doors open at 5:00 PM, with puck drop scheduled for 6:00 PM. Bring your family, wear your team colors, and come cheer on our local first responders for a great cause!
