What DTBL Means To The Children:
This is Megan and she had her HEP (Hockey Education Program) skills and she wanted to wear her Defending the Blue Line jersey. She talked about how she got it from one of her daddy’s army friends. Way to go Megan!!!

Article by Brittany Cole:
Defending the Blue Line gives opportunities to the children of service men and women who normally wouldn’t get the chance to experience certain activities, especially when a parent is overseas fighting in the war. Each home game this season, Martin will host a veteran and their child to enjoy the game, and after the game, each will have the opportunity to meet Matt and get autographs.
DTBL is honored to announce the Brent Burns line from Gongshow Gear. $20 from the purchase of each item is donated back to DTBL, another wonderful gesture from Burnzie. Four different items available, so go check them out now. Thanks to Brent and to Gongshow for the continued support.
Our mission at Defending The Blue Line (DTBL) is ensuring that children of military members are afforded every opportunity to participate in the game of hockey. We accomplish this by providing free equipment for military kids, hockey camps, special events, and financial assistance for registration fees and other costs associated with hockey.
