Seattle's community spirit shines as the Thunderbirds energize a Saturday of solidarity on February 28, 2026, celebrating those who serve on the front lines. The Seattle Thunderbirds have carved out a day to honor first responders with a unique combo of charity and competition. According to a social media announcement by Puget Sound Fire, the event will feature a special match between the Puget Sound Fire/EMS Hockey Club and the South Sound LawDogs from Pierce County, in what's being branded as a Police vs. Fire Charity Hockey Game.
Looking to celebrate first responders, eager fans who purchase tickets will not only witness bravery on ice but will also contribute to charitable foundations. As part of the event before attending the Thunderbirds vs. Silvertips game at 6:05 pm, spectators can catch the charity hockey game at 1:00 pm. Group rate tickets were going for $40.95, inclusive of processing fees, providing access to both the charity event and the evening game.
Through this initiative, buying tickets isn't just about securing a seat but also about backing noble causes. A portion of each ticket sale will support the respective charity linked to the team supported, be it firefighters or law enforcement heroes. To assist the Puget Sound Firefighters Foundation, supporters can use a special link with the password "FIRE" found on the Thunderbirds' ticket platform. Similarly, to back the Behind the Badge Foundation, patrons can use another dedicated link with the password "POLICE." Both charities aim to provide immense support to first responders and their families, according to the Puget Sound Fire.
While the charity hockey game will headline the event, ticket holders will also have the opportunity to watch the Thunderbirds face the Silvertips later that evening. A portion of ticket sales purchased through designated charity links will support foundations that assist community service members. Tickets and donation information are available through the provided links using the required passwords.
