Now that the dust has settled and the bruising and soreness has gone down (kind of)…. We’d like to take this time to say THANK YOU for everyone who was involved in last weekends Battle of the Badges hockey game! We can not believe over 550 tickets were sold with proceeds going to the great Patriots Cove.

To our members who spent countless hours putting the game together, Scranton Firefighters for going along with this crazy idea, the community members who donated and bought tickets, the city administration for the support, Mohegan Arena PA and their staff, and everyone we may have forgotten. THANK YOU!!!

Keep an eye out for future “Responders Hockey Club” games coming soon and we look forward to bringing the cup back to Wilkes-Barre next year!
