U.S. Pond Hockey Championships

Registration opens promptly Wednesday, September 12, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. C.S.T. (Lake Nokomis time) at uspondhockey.com on a first come, first served basis.

The top teams from 2012 (top 32 teams from the Open division, top 4 teams from the 40+, 50+, Rink Rat and Women's Divisions) and out of state teams from the 2012 tournament will receive a reserved entry spot for their teams.

Please note that games will begin on Friday, Jan. 18 as early as 8:00 a.m. Please make travel plans accordingly (plan to arrive by Thursday so we can have a few beers together at check-in). Please note: Sorry folks, but we cannot accept schedule requests.

Sponsorship Opportunities

We're looking for sponsors to partner with us to help fund the greatest pond hockey tournament in the country and make it a great success! As you know, our goal is simply to break even while giving money to our charity partners (a line item in our budget) and to keep the pond hockey tradition alive and kicking. If you or anyone you know would be interested in becoming a USPHC sponsor, please contact Travis Shives, Director of Business Development at (763) 222-2406 or travis@touchpointmedia.com.

That's all for now. So start your dry land training, call your ringers and build your dream team for the 8th Annual U.S. Pond Hockey Championships!
