4.2 Kingston Cup. Canadian Gunners were hockey pioneers, playing some of the earliest

games in Kingston in the 1870s. Before the turn of the twentieth century, an annual hockey game originated between A and B Battery. It is one of Canada’s oldest ongoing hockey series, and remains fiercely contested to this day. Unless the Batteries are deployed on operations that prevent it, the game is played each year to celebrate the day of the Patron Saint of Gunners, Saint Barbara. The Kingston Cup was donated
