WORCESTER, MA-Just 10 years ago a fire at the Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse 6 firefighters lost their lives when they entered an inferno to try to save the lives of two homeless people who had been reported to be inside. The Worcester Sharks dedicated the day’s events to honoring their memory and raising funds for charity including a hockey game between the Providence and Worcester Fire Departments as well as raising a banner to the rafters of the DCU center bearing a Worcester 6 logo. The Sharks themselves took to the ice in special red, black, and white uniforms bearing the Worcester 6 logo instead of the traditional teal based outfits they wore. The pre-game ceremony also honored the men and recognized their families before the banner was raised.
