The Guns have proven to be the best this year in the 7th Annual Guns N’ Hoses Hockey game in Roanoke. The Police Officers (Guns) shutout the Firefighters (Hoses) in a 6-0 win. This landslide victory is not normal though, in the past the games have ended in a shootout more often than not.

The game is played annually and organized mostly by the Roanoke County Professional Firefighters. The game is played at the Roanoke Civic Center.
