BATTLE OF THE BADGES

OFFICIAL HOCKEY PROGRAM WELCOME

Welcome to the 2026 Battle of the Badges Hockey Championship. We are thrilled to once again fill the SNHU Arena as police officers and first responders from across the state of New Hampshire battle it out in one incredible competition. The proceeds from this annual battle of good vs good are used to help kids with critical services at Dartmouth Health Children’s including: support when they are in pediatric intensive care, management of chronic illnesses, and patient and family support services. Since the game’s inception in 2007, with your support, we have raised more than $3.5 million.

This game would not be possible without our amazing players who are true role models in their communities They work hard to protect and serve us in their ‘day jobs’ and then give their time and fundraising efforts for the kids at Dartmouth Health Children’s. Overall, Team Police leads the series* over Team Fire 10 to 6. We cannot thank you enough for your support of Dartmouth Health Children’s and the patients and families we serve in our region. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this year’s Battle of the Badges!

*In 2013, police officers and firefighters united in an East-West showdown

COACHES

Meetour Buddies

Inspirational and brave are understatements when it comes to describing our Buddies. These children have shown courage and resilience when faced with serious health challenges. Our Buddies represent the incredible things that are accomplished when we all collectively work together to make an impact. Every Buddy has benefited from the care and services of Dartmouth Health Children’s and CHaD.
