FBI Squares Off Against Chicago Police To Raise 'Honor Flight' Funds

(CBS) – The FBI and Chicago Police Department will be squaring off, but not because of a crime.

Instead, as CBS 2's Dana Kozlov reports, they're taking to the ice and battling it out to raise money for a good cause.

Practice is pleasant enough. But don't be fooled. The annual FBI-Chicago Police Department hockey game is a real grudge match.

Officer Bill Dougherty works in Chicago's 22nd Police District. He plays in this game for all World War II veterans. The proceeds go to the Honor Flight, which flies members of the Greatest Generation to the World War II memorial in Washington D.C. and back.

The hockey match is one week from Saturday. For more information, click here.

Former Blackhawk players Peter Marsh, Grant Mulvey, and Brian Noonan are scheduled to appear for autographs and assist with pre-game festivities.
