Guardians Cup is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting first responder and military mental health.
What began as an annual hockey tournament has grown into a year-round mission to raise awareness, reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, connect those who serve with meaningful resources and support, and strengthen the community surrounding them.
Our annual Guardians Cup hockey tournament brings together first responders, military members, veterans, families, and supporters through hockey, camaraderie, and a shared purpose–creating an impact that extends far beyond the ice.

HEALING HEROES FOUNDATION | OFFICIAL HOST PARTNER
Guardians Cup is proud to work alongside organizations that share our commitment to supporting the first responder and military community. Through these relationships, we help connect first responders, service members, veterans, and their families with mental health resources, peer support, education, and organizations built to understand the unique challenges they face.
Our mission extends far beyond tournament weekend. By raising awareness, strengthening connections, sharing trusted resources, and using the Guardians Cup platform to support organizations doing meaningful work, we're helping build a stronger community around those who serve.
Together, we're making sure our heroes know support is there when they need it.
