Pond Hockey is one of our favorite events and we look forward to it all year long. That said, it takes a lot of hard work and long hours with dozens of volunteers to pull it together every year. It also is the biggest weekend of winter for almost every business owner in St. Ignace; for some, Pond Hockey weekend is the main reason they are able to stay open all winter long. We know that for most of you, this is not new information, but we want to make sure that you understand that this is a St. Ignace event, put on by the cooperation and long work hours of St. Ignace residents and business owners. We ask that you please make every effort to support these businesses while you are here, particularly the hotels.

We understand that hotels in other communities may be reaching out to you with discounted rates for that weekend. We want to make sure you know the benefits of staying here in St. Ignace instead. Our rates are competitive and you get the added value of being right in the middle of everything. With free shuttle service all weekend long, you don’t have to worry about driving anywhere. Just check in and start having fun. Additionally, if our hotels continue to see declining numbers for this weekend, we will have to make changes, possibly by charging more for those who stay in non-St. Ignace hotels, which we don’t want to do!

Welcome Czech Lions!

Special thanks to the Czech Lions who traveled 5,000 miles from the Czech Republic to play in our pond hockey championship. Although they played with only four players, the Lions managed to make the finals in the 30+ Gold division. Can’t wait to see them again this year!

Our tournament has truly reached an international level, with players from Canada and the Czech Republic adding to the excitement on the ice. Thanks to teams that traveled from far away states including Kentucky, Ohio and Colorado. We hope to see everyone again next year!
