US Pond Hockey Championships

The US Pond Hockey Championships on Lake Nakomis are an incredible sporting event. There are dozens of matches going on all at the same time. There are four players per team and the action is fast and intense. There is a large warming tent where we got hot chocolate right before the arctic cold front came through.

The arctic front coming in. The wind was incredible and the temperature instantly stated to plunge.

US Pond Hockey Championships - rained out

Who would have thought that pond hockey would get rained out in January in Minnesota!?



It was nasty wet this year for the entire weekend.  They played yesterday in the mess but today's games were canceled.
