MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Hockey players dream of winter days with bright blue skies, crisp temperatures and a frozen pond to skate on.

Their wishes are coming true for the 8th annual U.S. Pond Hockey Championships this weekend on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis. Twenty-six teams will compete for the coveted Golden Shovel.

The skills range from true rink rats to players who hit the puck from time to time. Players come from all over the world to compete in the round-robin style tournament.
