Program Overview

Are you ready for a high altitude challenge?  Can you take your game to an elevation of 9,280 feet above sea level?  Actually don't stress 'cause while the 9280 Pond Hockey Tournament is located high up in the Rocky Mountains, the weekend is really about having fun in an incredible setting while playing the great game of hockey the way mother nature intended...on a very cold, very large, very well-surfaced outdoor pond. 

Plus an added bonus, you can make it a "hall pass" weekend with your buddies OR you can bring your entire family! We have divisions for everyone, youth teams as well, and there's a ton of outdoor activities to choose from if not everyone in your group plays hockey… skiing, snowboarding, snow shoeing just to name a few.

We hope to see you at the 10th Anniversary of the 9280 Pond Hockey Tournament in 2025!
