 As part of Third Assist's "Ultimate Pond Hockey Resource" we've reached out to the best pond hockey tournaments taking place this winter in the United States. We want to know where they're at, what makes them unique, and why we should visit this upcoming winter. Safe to say we're sold on the following tournaments. Location of Tournament: 215 Water Street, Port Perry, Ontario Time of Year: Saturday, February 8th, 2020  Ages Welcomed to Play: 18+ Size of the Tournament: 20+ Teams per year Special Entertainment: Spectator activities, Skill shot games for children, Silent auction Special Vendors: Tim Horton’s  What Sets This Tournament Apart: A well-respected charity tournament run by a non-profit Search and Rescue organization benefitting a local charity every year. A fantastic opportunity to play a fast-paced pond hockey game with hockey fanatics, while giving back to the local community. Third Assist's Take: The local ones are some of the best. This is a smaller scale tournament, but they’re open for new teams to join in. With all proceeds going to local charities this is a good competitive time, but ultimately the tournament is there for fun and a good cause. Lake Scugog is only about one hour from Toronto proper which means this tournament makes for a prime occasion for hockey’s weekend warriors. Check out the links below to learn more and get involved.

 As part of Third Assist's "Ultimate Pond Hockey Resource" we've reached out to the best pond hockey tournaments taking place this winter in the United States. We want to know where they're at, what makes them unique, and why we should visit this upcoming winter. Safe to say we're sold on the following tournaments. Location of Tournament: Silverthorne, Colorado Time of Year: February 14-16, 2020  Ages Welcomed to Play: 16+ with parental consent Size of the Tournament: 200 teams, 6 divisions, 1,200 players, 15,000 people total at event Special Entertainment: Apres Ice Party Hockey Hair Project (Saturday night February 15)  What Sets This Tournament Apart: The combination of Colorado scenic views (Rocky Mountains), entertainment, but most importantly the people who return year after year for this tournament. The fan loyalty is unbelievable and we are so grateful to everyone who has participated in this tournament year after year. Third Assist's Take: This tournament is situated over President’s day weekend in the heart of the Colorado winter. Perfect timing yes, but also appears to be the perfect location for a getaway tournament or even easier, a fun drive from the Denver metro area. It’s situated in the heart of Colorado’s ski country with Rocky Mountain views and plenty of snow. On our side we think the location is the selling point, but it doesn’t lack in production either. A couple years running and over 200 teams means this may be one of the top tournaments you'll find out west.  Where to Learn More About This Tournament:

Location of Tournament: York, Pennsylvania Time of Year: December through March Ages Welcomed to Play: U8 Mite Level Size of the Tournament: 10 Tournaments total with two 4-6 team divisions Special Entertainment: Full service resort; snow tubing, trampoline park, bar, restaurant, and spa  What Sets This Tournament Apart: We put the fun back in youth hockey. Families can walk from their hotel room to our 60'x120' outdoor rink. Add in snow tubing and the fun doesn't stop. Third Assist's Take: This is one of those tournaments aimed at the whole family. Situated at Heritage Hills Resort, there's enough entertainment to keep the parents and kids entertained. With tournaments spanning the whole winter, this location is the perfect opportunity for the younger guys/gals to get exposure to the pond hockey world. A nice starter tournament in a very accessible location!  Where to Learn More About This Tournament:
