The game begins at 1 p.m. at Richardson Stadium. The Base Commander Colonel Stephen Cadden will join the team on the field for the ceremonial kickoff.

"It is a great show of spirit that Queens University along with their fans have decided to demonstrate their support for the men and women who serve in their local community," said Colonel Stephen Cadden, Base Commander of Garrison Kingston "On behalf of all Garrison Kingston members and their families, I want to thank Queens for their generosity and commitment to building community relations with their military community."
