U.S. Secret Service Tops FBI for Second Consecutive Year in Annual Charity Ice Hockey Game Arlington's Kettler Capitals Iceplex saw a different kind of action than the typical Washington Capitals' practice on Saturday night.

The U.S. Secret Service and FBI skated in their 15th annual charity ice hockey game, drawing a sell-out crowd of 2,500.

This year, the agents hit the ice to raise money for the Keith Rile Fund, established to aid a Secret Service agent diagnosed with non-smokers lung cancer.

The intense matchup went down to the wire, as the game-winning goal was scored in the last minute of overtime.  The Secret Service notched the tiebreaking goal with 58 seconds left on the clock, and triumphed over the FBI for a final score of 7-6.

"It's never an easy win," said Todd Nassoiy, a special agent playing for the Secret Service, who talked with CNN after the game.

He isn't kidding.  The event has gone to overtime for three years in a row; last year, the Secret Service won in a shootout.

In ticket prices alone, the agencies raised $12,500 for Keith Rile and his family.
