The game will commence at 6 p.m. on Saturday at the Richard Korpi Ice Rink, located near the intersection of 28th Street and Avenue A in Bayonne, according to Port Authority police spokesman Joe Pentangelo.
The event is dedicated to Port Authority Police Officer Eamonn Mautone, who died on December 29th when his off-duty vehicle struck a guardrail on the New Jersey Turnpike (per NJ Advance Media).
Mautone was on the job, stationed at the World Trade Center command, for just over a year when his fatal accident occurred.
Tickets for the game are just $10 each and children under 12 enter free of charge.
