SUMMARY:2026 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series
DESCRIPTION:2026 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series\nThe Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins will face off in the 2026 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on February 1\, 2026. The game will mark the first time in League history that an outdoor game will be played in a football stadium in the state of Florida\, the culmination of a month-long celebration of hockey in the Sunshine State. \nThe 2026 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series™ identity draws inspiration from swashbuckling history and culture in Tampa Bay. Additional elements featured in the logo include typography inspired by hand-drawn treasure maps. A hidden lightning bolt in the tattered sail atop the main mast serves as a subtle nod to the home team. The logo was developed by the NHL’s Creative Services Department and Fanbrandz. \nThe 2026 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series™ will mark the second of two outdoor games hosted by the state of Florida. Before the Lightning face the Bruins\, the 2025 Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers will play the New York Rangers at loanDepot park\, home of Major League Baseball’s Miami Marlins\, in Miami on Jan. 2\, 2026. The two outdoor contests will celebrate the explosive growth of hockey in Florida over the last three decades. In the more than 30 years since the NHL expanded into Florida\, the Panthers and Lightning have enjoyed significant success\, including most recently with each of the last six Stanley Cup Final series featuring one of the Florida franchises.

SUMMARY:Police and Firefighters “Battle of the Badges” Charity Hockey Game

All proceeds will directly support local cancer research initiatives\, helping to advance innovative treatments and improve patient outcomes across Windsor-Essex. \n“Every goal scored helps move us closer to finding a cure\,” says Jeff Casey\, founder of Play for a Cure and Chair of the Cancer Research Collaboration Fund. “Battle of the Badges isn’t just about hockey—it’s about unity\, courage\, and standing together for those who need it most.” \n“These events provide the opportunity to meet and interact directly with our community and allow us to ‘Give Back!’” says Rob Hallett of the Windsor Police Service. “We encourage everyone to ‘Get Involved’ and work together with the\nWindsor Police Service to ‘Make a Difference’ in our community.” \nPat Lo Mascolo of Windsor Fire & Rescue Services adds\, “The Battle of the Badges is more than a hockey game—it’s about building community partnerships and showing that when we work together\, we can create lasting\, positive change. Our\nfirefighters are proud to stand beside our police colleagues in support of cancer research and the families who are impacted every day.” \nFans can expect a high-energy\, best-on-best matchup featuring family entertainment\, community partner activations\, and special appearances. Both teams will take the ice in custom Play for a Cure jerseys honoring those affected by cancer. \nPlay for a Cure unites athletes\, fans\, and the community in the fight against cancer. In partnership with the WindsorEssex Community Foundation (WECF)\, proceeds from Play for a Cure events — including the Pro-Am Hockey Tournament and Battle of the Badges — are directed through the Cancer Research Collaboration Fund (CRCF) to support cutting-edge local research. Together\, these initiatives have raised more than $1.8 million to advance cancer research\, improve patient outcomes\, and strengthen health innovation across the Windsor-Essex region.
