Get ready for a day of frosty fun at the annual Youth Pond Hockey Day tournament in the heart of Lindenwood Park! Watch your kids hit the ice and revel in the joy of hockey the old-fashioned way—out in the crisp, open air!
We're gearing up for an action-packed day that promises endless smiles. Each team plays three games in this jamboree-style event, with two 10-minute halves. Our divisions are tailored for every skill level, with 10U, 8U, and 6U (All divisions are coed). Teams can roster up to 8 players, but squads of 6 are recommended for maximum fun!
Games are set for a fast-paced 4-on-4 showdown that'll have you at the edge of your seat! And when you're not cheering on your team, head over to our cozy warming tent for snacks, drinks, and a chance to toast some marshmallows on our outdoor fire pits!
Thank you to AXIS CLINICALS for being our sponsor for this event!

- Penalties are called for rule infractions. Penalties called by rink manager/official are final. A minor penalty results in possession of the puck awarded to the opposing team. Rink officials have the discretion to also award a goal to the opposing team when a minor penalty is flagrant and/or a team is consistently playing in a reckless manner.
- Any major penalty, which includes any action that could possibly injure another player, results in that player being ejected from the tournament. The team that received the ejection plays the remainder of the current game short-handed. The rink official determines major penalties. (No players can be added if others are lost to major penalties).
