Now in its fifth year, the Saskatoon Blades & RCMP “Project Face-off” is a partnership aimed at educating kids about the effects and consequences of substance abuse. Developed to show solidarity with the sport of hockey, education and police, Project Face-off signifies the RCMP and the Saskatoon Blades “facing off” against drugs. During the 2009-2010 season, the Saskatoon Blades  will be joining members of the RCMP to educate  grades 6-8 students in schools in Saskatoon and surrounding area.
