Friday night already was going to be a big night for the hockey teams at Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood and Birmingham Brother Rice, who'll face off at Wallace Arena in a battle of annual state powerhouses.
But the two will add another neat element to the game when they partner to hold an event in conjunction with the game called "Faceoff Against Hunger."
The schools will wear throwback uniforms from the 1970's and all those who are attended are invited to bring food items, cash donations or both. All proceeds and food will go to benefit Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeast Michigan.
The JV game will start at 5 p.m., while the varsity contest will start at 7 p.m. for those interested in attending to not only see two of the state's best hockey teams, but also to support a worthy cause.
