On September 21st, the Avalanche and Kroenke Sports Charities hosted the fourth annual Battle of the Badges game between the Denver Fire Department and the Denver Police Department. The contest serves as a celebration of the service provided by two of Denver’s First Responders departments.
Joining the attendees at the game were T.J. Hughes and Matt DiMarisco, two players in the Avalanche organization who served as coaches during the game. Joining the two players for the ceremonial puck drop was Denver Mayor Mike Johnston.
On the ice, the Police Department defeated the Fire Department 7-5, continuing its streak of winning each year.
After the game, Kroenke Sports Charities donated $10,000 to both the Denver Police Foundation and Denver Fire Foundation.
