The Colorado Pond Hockey Tournament always keeps its size limited for a few certain good reasons. While a big crowd is always enjoyable, the non-crowded but energetic event hopes that its participants will have the time to get to know each other and brush up on friendships.
The no-fuss and stress-free tournament will happen from Friday to Sunday, February 14th to 16th, 2025 in Georgetown. It’s located an easy drive from famous ski destinations like Vail, Loveland, Keystone, Breckenridge, and Copper Mountain Resort.
