Breaking the tie against the New Hampshire Policemen, the third annual CHaD Battle of the Badges brought thousands of local fans together to root for their favorite hero. Facing off for children, two teams composed of Granite State Police and Fire departments fan the flames of their rivalry with an exciting hockey event. Since 2008 the teams have provided spectators with a thrilling game and a welcomed economic boost for the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth.
New Hampshire-based BuyATimeshare.com was in attendance rooting for the local police department and donating more than $2500 in support of pediatric research and patient care at CHaD. The leading timeshare resale firm also added some extra style to the Policemen’s hockey team with BuyATimeshare.com patches on their uniform and cheering BuyATimeshare.com staff in the stands. With a crowd of over 3000 people, the Verizon Wireless Arena rang out with applause as every goal and glove-save was made.
The fast-paced game raised more than $121,000 for ChaD to continue its work providing world-class medical services to children and families across New Hampshire and Northern New England. Each talented player was determined to bring home the title as the badges battled in a non-stop flurry of red and blue.
Tied 1-1 in the 1st, Brian Croft from Franklin made a goal for the NH Police to lead 2-1 in the 2nd period. In the 3rd period, the tie-breaker was made by Bobby Fowler of the Firefighters 3-2. Team captain Micky Drouin of the Dover Fire Department battled in the end to get another goal for a score of 4-2 and the NHFirefighters secure their second victory. Derek Newcomb, goalie of the NHPolicemen is excited for another chance to take on the Firemen; he says he is itching to come back for next year’s game and is looking forward to training a bit harder next year.
And while team Policemen team was thankful for each donation, at BuyATimeshare.com we salute the talented group of badge-wearing heroes and their dedication to making a difference in the lives of children. For more information about CHaD and how you can help Click Here
