Team Coast Guard falls in the final of the 2021 B-Fit Heroes Cup to a tough Canton (MA) Police & Fire in the Championship game of the C Division. The Coast Guard has participated in the Marlborough, MA tournament every year since its inception in 2017. Normally fielding A/B and C/D teams amongst the 100+ teams from the US and Canada, only a single team competed this year due to Covid constraints. Team Coast Guard won the B Division championship in 2017 but has not hoisted the Cup since.
The Heroes Cup is the largest Public Service Hockey Tournament in the world. The Hero’s Cup is a foundation dedicated to serving the health and wellness needs of those who serve our communities: the first responders. Through sporting events and social gatherings, The Hero’s Cup works to raise awareness and funds for firefighters, police, military, and EMS workers and the charities they support. The individuals within these professions put their lives and health at risk daily, and the Hero’s Cup was created, in turn, to offer some protection and support to them and their families. The Hero’s Cup is also dedicated to supporting key areas that impact first responders, including cancer detection and prevention, mental health, and line of duty death support.
