Save the Date for Battle of the Badges Hockey – Sunday March 15th 2026*

*Date subject to change*

Last year, nearly 5,000 spectators packed the SNHU Arena to cheer on firefighters, police officers and first responders from across the state of New Hampshire as they battled it out in one incredible competition – on and off the ice for the kids and families of Dartmouth Health Children's. To date, this game has raised over $3.5 million for vital programs and services provided at Dartmouth Health Children’s.

We can’t thank our players, officials, volunteers, partners, donors and fans enough for making the 17th annual Battle of the Badges Hockey Championship a great success! We are excited to announce that tryout registration for the 2026 game is now open. They will be held at the JFK Coliseum in Manchester on September 5th, 12th and 19th. If you are a first responder or know anyone who is and would like to play in the game, click the link above to register for tryouts today.

We look forward to seeing you all at the 18th annual Battle of the Badges Game on March 15th!
