Fourth Annual
Guns
N Hoses
to Benefit Sean McDonald
Local law enforcement and firefighters/EMS are ready to do battle again for the 4th annual Guns N Hoses hockey game on Saturday, February 4th. Team Fire currently leads the series 2-1, with Team Police looking to even the series. To date, Grand Traverse Guns N Hoses has raised over $40,000 for families in need.
Doors open at 6 pm. The silent auction begins at 6 pm, pregame is at 6:30 and the puck drops at 7:00.
This event has grown each year and it is now one of the largest hockey events hosted at Centre Ice Arena.
The upcoming game will benefit Sean McDonald, 34, of Traverse City. Sean has recently been dia
gnosed with non-small cell Stage 4 lung cancer. Sean is the sole provider for his family which consists of his wife and four daughters. Sean is unable to work and is currently undergoing treatment. Funds raised from this event will help to offset soaring medical and travel costs associated with his treatment.
Tickets are $5 and can be purchased in advance locally at any Traverse City State Bank branch, Bill Marsh Auto on South Garfield or Dave Harvey's Athletic Supply. Remaining tickets will be available at the door while supplies last. Limited edition T-shirts (red or Navy blue) can be purchased prior to the event at Bill Marsh Auto and Dave Harvey's Athletic Supply for $15 each beginning Friday, January 13th.

Centre Ice, TC Community Remember Rick Deneweth
Centre Ice, Howe Arena and the community at large lost a friend on November 11, 2016 with the passing of Richard "Rick" A. Deneweth.
Along with being devoted to growing the local business community, Rick was an avid supporter of local hockey. Among many volunteer activities, he served as President of the Bay Reps Michigan High School Hockey team. He was known for his commitment to his family and community, generosity, strong work ethic, high moral integrity, professional excellence, and devotion to his Catholic faith. He espoused a deep love of his country and a commitment to veterans.
Rick is survived by his best friend and loving wife Connie, sons Raymond James (RJ) and Christopher, and brother, Ronald (Mary). Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
A devoted husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend, Rick touched countless lives and will be forever missed by his family, friends and associates.
