On Saturday April 3rd, Danbury Fire and Police departments will face off at a charity hockey game at the Ice Arena.
The game has grown in popularity over the years and organizers predict that this year's event will be the biggest yet.
The Danbury Police Department, led by Team Captain, Sergeant John Krupinsky, will be playing for the Law Enforcement Survivor’s Fund. This charity ensures that the widows and children of Officers killed in the line of duty are taken care of and not forgotten.
The Danbury Fire Department, led by Team Captain, Lieutenant Jamie Schiller, will be playing for two charities. The first charity is the Connecticut Children’s Burn Camp, which is a free-week long summer camp that provides activities for children who have suffered varying degrees of burn injuries. The second is the Companions in Courage Foundation, which was founded by NHL Hall of Famer, Pat LaFontaine. This Foundation also helps children by building interactive “fun rooms” in children’s hospitals all across America.
“Public Power is honored to have the opportunity to sponsor such a worthwhile charitable event. Since opening our doors just over two years ago in Danbury, CT our goal has been to help Connecticut residents and businesses save money on their electricity bill. With our continued growth, we now have the opportunity to help many other organizations by getting involved with great charitable causes like this hockey game. We hope that all of our Public Power customers will embrace this cause and turn out for this great evening of hockey. As an added bonus to the game, we are extremely excited to announce that NHL Hall of Famer, Stanley Cup Champion and Public Power spokesman, Phil Esposito will be on hand to meet and greet everyone during the pre-game festivities. He will also attend the game and serve as the evening’s “Guest of Honor”. We look forward to a great evening of hockey and getting the opportunity to meet with as many fans as possible” said Public Power’s CEO, Bob Gries.
Doors open at 3:30 p.m.; pre-game ceremonies begin at 4:45 p.m.; and the puck drops at 5:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door, $10 for adults, and children 5 years and under are free! On behalf of all the charities and sponsors involved we thank you in advance for your support of this great evening.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
