2026 Face Off for Heroes Boston

Active duty and retired members of the Naval Special Warfare community return to Boston Saturday, January 10th to honor the memory of Chief Special Operator Nate Hardy (SEAL) by taking on the Boston Bruins Alumni. This year, 2025 NHL Hall of Fame Inductee Zdeno Chara and fellow 2011 Stanley Cup Champions Patrice Bergeron, Mark Recchi, Adam McQuaid, Andrew Ference, Tuukka Rask, Dennis Seidenberg, Johnny Boychuk, Chris Kelly, and Daniel Paille will return to Warrior, along with NHL Hall of Famer and 3x Cup Champion Joe Mullen, Al Iafrate, Kevan Miller, Andrew Alberts, PJ Stock, Mark Mowers, Frank Simonetti and Bryan Smolinski.

This Boston Bruins Foundation event benefits the Warrior for Life Fund and Operation Hat Trick, continuing the Boston Bruins ongoing commitment to support charities that impact and improve the quality of life for military families.

This impressive Boston Bruins Alumni lineup, and the beneficiaries supported, will make this Face Off for Heroes game one of the most sought after tickets in Boston. In addition, the NHL’s ongoing partnership with the Warrior for Life Fund will bring increased national media attention. We anticipate the NHL Network, NESN, Bruins Behind the B, local news stations, and other media outlets will cover this event. Also, the Bruins Alumni TV rebroadcast of this Face Off for Heroes game will be its most viewed of the season, seen by hockey fans around the world. All this excitement provides a unique opportunity for your company to be part of the impactful event by becoming a sponsor, which guarantees you will have a front row seat to all the action.
