What is pond hockey?
Pond hockey is an informal, traditional version of ice hockey played on a natural frozen body of water, such as a pond, lake, or outdoor rink. It typically features a smaller rink, no boards or glass, minimal equipment, and no formal goalie. Pond hockey emphasizes skating, puck handling, and team play over physical contact. The game is more about the fun and camaraderie of the sport, and is a return to the sport’s roots played in the great outdoors.

What is Save Pond Hockey?
Save Pond Hockey is a global movement to unite and mobilize the hockey community against climate change: the greatest threat to winters and pond hockey. We organize pond hockey tournaments against climate change around the world and donate tournament profits to climate action projects. Thousands of pond hockey fans have played in our tournaments, including Stanley Cup champions, NHL legends, Olympic medalists, and the President of Finland.

Is this for me?
Absolutely! Pond hockey is for everyone, and so are our tournaments 🙂
