Save Pond Hockey

Mobilizing the outdoor hockey community to fight climate change and save the game we love for future generations.

The Story

The ice beneath our skates is disappearing.

Every player feels it—winters starting later, ending earlier, ice that won’t freeze like it used to. The outdoor rinks where we fell in love with hockey, where generations learned the game under open sky, are vanishing season by season. But hockey players don’t just watch from the sidelines. We fight for what we love.

Save Pond Hockey is a movement of players taking action.

We’re turning our passion into power by organizing tournaments worldwide that fund real climate solutions. From Helsinki to Hay River, from Tegernsee to Toronto, over 7,000 players—from weekend warriors to Stanley Cup champions, and even the President of Finland—have laced up for the cause. Our movement is supported by Hockey Hall of Famers, Olympic champions, and women’s legends. Meet our Ambassadors→

The impact is real and growing.

There have been 40+ Save Pond Hockey tournaments across 5 countries and counting, raising over €150,000 for climate projects that are making a tangible difference: permanently protecting forests and wetlands, preventing hundreds of tonnes of CO2 emissions, and helping a remote Canadian town get an electric Zamboni. But the impact goes beyond donations—62% of tournament participants say the experience inspired them to take climate action.

This is bigger than hockey. But it starts with hockey.

Join the movement! Rally your community, support us for €10/year, host a new tournament (we’ll help!), or ask your local event to join as a Partner Tournament (by donating just 1% of profits to climate action). Because the next generation deserves to feel what we felt—cold air, frozen ponds, and the pure joy of outdoor hockey. #savepondhockey
