2026 GUARDIAN'S CUP
MARCH 6-8, 2026
ROCHESTER, NY
Tim Horton's Iceplex is proud to host the 3rd Annual Guardian's Cup, a hockey tournament for first responders and veterans. This exciting event takes place March 6-8 and promises a weekend filled with friendly competition, camaraderie, and giving back to a worthy cause.
The Guardian's Cup goes beyond the ice. It's a mission-driven tournament that aims to raise awareness and critical funds for the New York Law Enforcement Assistance Program (NYLEAP). NYLEAP is dedicated to improving the mental health and overall well-being of all law enforcement and first responders in New York State.
The inaugural Guardian's Cup in 2024 was a resounding success, generating $3,794 for NYLEAP. This year, we aim to surpass that achievement and make an even greater impact on the lives of first responders.

2025 PARTICIPATING TEAMS
Supporting First Responders' Mental Wellness
New York Law Enforcement Assistance Program (NYLEAP), a non-profit run by experienced first responders, addresses the critical mental health challenges faced by these heroes (law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, etc.) in New York. Alarmingly, officer suicides outnumber line-of-duty deaths. NYLEAP combats this with free, confidential mental health resources and training to empower first responders, improve personal lives, and foster stronger, safer communities.
