5th Annual Michigan Pond Hockey Classic!
There is something very special about playing hockey on the frozen pond. Heading down to the Pond with your skates over your shoulder, you and hockey buddies shoveling off the newly fallen snow, setting up your boots as goal posts, and hearing the imaginary roar of the crowd as you score the first goal! It just doesn’t get any better than this!
The script is perfect…Pond Hockey with a team of close friends in a spectacular setting with lighted rinks, spirited competition, and the atmosphere of a festival! A unique happening is about to take place. Be there to experience what pond hockey is all about. This is always a nostalgic weekend you will never forget.
