Join us on Saturday, 09 March 2024, for the 19th Annual Defenders vs. Enforcers Benefit Hockey Game at the Essex Skating Facility. Doors will open at 5:00 pm and the puck drops at 6:00 pm. The price is $5 per person, six and younger are free.

This year looks to be another incredible game with some great hockey being played on the ice. This is a family event with 50/50 tickets, Chuck-A-Puck, a silent auction, and raffle items. We'll also have a concession stand, compliments of Friends of Vermont Aviation.

The Vermont State Police Honor Guard will present the colors and the Green Mountain Chorus will sing the National Anthem. Bagpipers from the St. Andrews Pipe Band of Vermont will also be performing. VT Lake Monsters mascot, Champ will be there for the kids, young and old. There will be a five-minute Knocker Ball game during the first intermission. If you don't know what Knocker Ball is, Google it! It's a riot and worth the price of admission itself. Also, Chuck-a-Puck and Essex Youth Hockey Sting cross-ice scrimmage will take place during the second-period intermission.

The proceeds will go to the Vermont National Guard Charitable Foundation and the Vermont Police Association. So, please come out for this family fun event with some exciting hockey being played as
members of the Vermont National Guard take on members of the Vermont Law Enforcement community. Hope to see you there!
