The XL Center in Hartford hosted eight hockey games over the weekend, but only two involved the Wolfpack. First responders took part in their annual "Guns and Hoses" charity hockey event. "This is our eighth year at the XL Center for the 'Guns and Hoses' charity event," said Lt .Timothy George, East Hartford Fire Department. "We've been doing it for eight years with the Wolfpack. It's a great event. It keeps getting bigger and bigger." Dozens of police officers, firefighters and EMS technicians from across the state replaced their uniforms with jerseys. "It's always fun to play out on the ice the Whalers played on and that the Wolfpack play on now," said Jonathan Serpliss, Hartford Fire Department. What started as a small fundraiser between the Hartford Wolfpack and the East Hartford Fire Department turned into a large two-day event.
