In April of 2022, Dan Gallagher from Smithtown and Scott Adams from Coram started the Suffolk Firefighters Hockey Club (SCFFHC). Originally entered in a local men’s league, the team has now grown to become a 501(c)(3) organization fielding two league teams, a successful campaign in the LI Warriors Summer Shootout tournament, and holding several exhibition games including playing with the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office.
This summer, thanks to the generous sponsorship of Bulovas Restorations, SCFFHC is entering the Heroes Cup Tournament. Heroes Cup is an annual tournament hosted in Boston, bringing together 100-plus police and fire teams from across the country. The goal of the Heroes Cup is to raise money and awareness for multiple charities with each team playing for the charity of their choice, competing for a cash prize going to the winning teams’ charity.
SCFFHC’s chosen charity is the Suffolk County Volunteer Firefighters Burn Center Fund. By helping meet our fundraising goal, we can guarantee a donation to the burn center from the Heroes Cup Foundation, support a great first responders’ event, and potentially win even more money for the burn center.
