Hundreds of hockey fans gathered Sunday at the Big Boy Arena in Fraser for the Battle of Badges. Clad in blue, the Sterling Heights Police Department clashed with Clinton Township Police and Fire Departments in white. But, even though both sides had their best game faces on, Clinton Township Police Chief Dina Caringi says she is not upset that her side lost by two goals. "No matter who wins, it's the spirit of the day, it's the spirit of the cause," said Chief Caringi. The real goal behind the friendly game was to support Sterling Heights police officer Colton Conley. Officer Conley joined the force last May, became a dad in August, and three months later was diagnosed with stage 3 testicular cancer.
