A hockey team made up of veterans, reserve and active-duty sailors and Marines is taking on a San Diego law enforcement team for charity this weekend. The military Patriots will play the law enforcement Spartans Oct. 19 at the San Diego Ice Arena, with all proceeds from the $10 tickets going to the San Diego Police Officers Association Widows and Orphans fund.

For more information about the event, check out the Patriots on Facebook. Email HM2 (FMF)…
