“The Golden Pick” Tommyknocker Pond Hockey Tournament is planned again for 2011!
Dates: January 15th and 16th
This tourney will bring back childhood memories of afternoon hockey games played against friends. This annual tournament has been a huge hit, bringing the locals out to cheer on teams from all over Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas (and we are extending our invitation to hockey rinks all across the west)! The 3-on-3 round robin format insures that everyone plays at least 2-3 games (plus tourney play), local restaurants insure that everyone eats well, and the Tommyknocker Tavern hosts live music for evening entertainment.
Creede has two ponds just north of town that serve as the host site for this tournament. The ponds are at 8900 feet, making this one of the highest pond hockey tournaments on earth. The scenery is incredible! You will be skating beneath 800 ft canyon walls with wildlife roaming nearby. Bonfires burn near the ponds all day and the Community Center opens their bar and offers “locker room” space.
Be sure to e-mail me when you nail down the dates so that I can add them to my pond hockey tournament listing: http://www.backyard-hockey.com/2011-north-american-pond-hockey-tournament-list/
