About:
WA Athletics brought the community together for a memorable Charity Hockey Game at Skate 3, as WA girls and boys hockey players faced off against members of the Westford Police Department and Westford Fire Department.
The event highlighted the power of sports to connect students, first responders, and community members around a shared purpose. By stepping onto the ice together, student-athletes and local first responders created an atmosphere rooted in mutual respect, gratitude, and community pride.
WA hockey players embraced the opportunity to give back, using the game as a platform to support a charitable cause while strengthening relationships with those who serve and protect the Westford community every day. The evening reflected the values of education-based athletics—leadership, service, and teamwork extending well beyond competition.
With strong support from families, fans, and local partners, the Charity Hockey Game served as a reminder that athletics can play a meaningful role in bringing people together and making a positive impact. Events like this continue to show how student-athletes can lead with purpose while celebrating the communities they represent.
