January 25th was a perfectly sunny day that was warm enough to be comfortable but not enough to wreck the ice at the McCauley Community Rink where the 2025 McCauley Cup took place.

The McCauley Cup is the annual hockey game between Edmonton Police Service downtown beat officers and the kids who skate at the rink. This year's event was extra special because MLA Janis Irwin was there to present the King Charles III Coronation Medal to Dan Glugosh, Rink Manager. Dan also received a McCauley Cup jersey from Constable Rhyce Cotterill.

Constable Cotterill also presented franked McCauley Cup jerseys to outgoing EPS Chief Dale McFee and Al Hamilton, who has done a lot to help support the rink over the years (and was the first captain of the Edmonton Oilers). Oilers alumnus Kevin Lowe was also there to support the event.

This year, the names of the young players were announced as they skated onto the ice. Delicious sandwiches were providec ourtesy of The Italian Centre Shop, and gift bags for the kids were brought by the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation. Support for the event also came from Sport Central, and organization that provides sports equipment to kids in need.
