2026 Winter Classic

❄️⚾ One for the Books! ❄️⚾

The 2026 Winter Classic is officially in the history books—and what a day it was! 
 

Thanks to the incredible work of American Legion Post 202 in Topsham, ME, this year’s event was a huge success, raising over $20,000 to support Maine Veterans in Need! 

Nine teams battled it out on the snowy field, traveling from as far away as Fryeburg and New Hampshire. Seasoned Winter Classic veterans went head-to-head with first-time teams—and with 18 inches of fresh snow, the playing field was almost perfectly even! 

What really stood out, though, was the spirit of the day: great competition, lots of laughs, and an amazing community coming together for Maine’s veterans. Every player, volunteer, and supporter helped make this an unforgettable event.

From all of us at MVN, THANK YOU to American Legion Post 202 and to everyone who participated, volunteered, donated, and cheered from the sidelines. Your support makes a real difference—and we couldn’t do this without you.
 
Stay tuned… Winter Classic 2027 will be here before we know it!
