Several weeks ago a team made up of three Eden Prairie firefighters and two Eden Prairie police officers played in the Excelsior Fire Department’s “4 on 4 Hockey Challenge”. The Eden Prairie team also played in the tournament last year, taking second.
Well this year the Eden Prairie team took first place! I have heard from a couple of our players them that they were a bit sore for a few days, but it always feels a little less painful when you win. This is just another shining example of what happens when fire and police are on the same team! Way to go guys, could this be a dynasty in the making? The pressure is on for next year.
Players on the team are pictured below and from left to right are: Assistant Fire Chief, Rick Hammerschmidt, Firefighter Eric Meiners, Fire Lieutenant Glenn Toewe, Police Officer Zach Hessel and Police Officer Travis Serafin.
