DEFSEC Atlantic 2018 :: Oct 2-4, 2018 :: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Event History

Over the past two years, the Esprit de Corps 'Commandos' travelled to Halifax to take on the Royal Canadian Navy 'Titans' in a Charity Hockey Game at the Forum ice rink. The 'Commandos' won the inaugural "Clash of the Titans" game in 2016 by a convincing score of 7:3. However in 2017, the Navy senior brass scoured the fleet for quality hockey players who had no intention of losing a second game in their home port.

The 'Commandos' put up a fair fight but took a dignified loss against a bone-crushing squad of Navy (and Navy affiliated) heavies in the second contest. Final score was 6:3. This year's event will benefit the Cadet Leagues of Canada.

In total, these charity hockey games have raised over $10,000 for local charitable organizations. Music will be provided by the Stadacona band, Mayor Mike Savage will drop the ceremonial puck, and Halifax's own Rick Howe will be the guest announcer. Hope to see you there!
