Pond Hockey Championship 2010 - Huntsville, Ontario

Get off the couch and get ready for the world's largest outdoor pond hockey tournament that spans over 6 acres of Mother Nature's natural ice! Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, Ontario will once again host the 5th annual Canadian National Pond Hockey Championships featuring both male and female hockey players from Everywhere, North America.


Entertain yourselves this winter on back to back weekends,
come to Sunset Bay for a visit or a stay!


January 29 - 31, 2010 - Men's Open Championships (age 25+, 80 teams) Women's Open Championships (age 19+, 24 teams) , and Men's Recreational Division (age 25+, 40 teams).

February 5 - 7, 2010 - Masters Championships (men's, age 35+, 72 teams); Masters Recreational (men's, age 35+, 40 teams), Women's Recreational (age 25+, 18-24 teams) and NEW Women's Masters (age 35+, 6-12 teams).

This is a recreational event folks, so there will be a rink side beer tent for those thirsty (of age) diehard hockey players and fans! There will also be refreshments, the resort and other facilities nearby including Huntsville. Remember, it's freakin' cold outside so dress appropriately and bring a change of clothes. Safe ice is an all too important factor so weather conditions do play a role in this event. If you are unsure or have any questions, call ahead to the Deerhurst Resort (phone # 705-789-6411) before you leave home.

Your participation in the event is appreciated, in any form! This pond hockey tournament is a fantastic economic boost for the Huntsville area along with being a fund raising source for worthy causes such as Shoot For a Cure, NHL Alumni Hockey's Greatest Family Fund and the Walter & Wayne Gretzky CNIB Blind Youth Scholarship Program. Mr. Walter Gretzky, named Honorary Coach of The Canadian National Pond Hockey Championship, also known as a super awesome hockey Dad, will make an appearance over the course of the event as well.
