2012 New England Pond Hockey Classic

hilltopper · 01-25-2012, 08:50 AM

I'm wondering if Scott Crowder, at this point, is thinking of a possible split venue. I think he could have a number of safe rinks on Meredith Bay (some of which are already snowblowed) but probably not enough to satisfy the tournament schedule. You don't want people heading too far out on Meredith Bay at this point in time. At the start of the tournament the Waukewan rinks would need to be used. As the tournament progressed and the number of games decreased they could all be played on Meredith Bay. Only time (and Mother Nature) will tell, I guess...

The Venue will not be split, This is to hard to organize with sponsors and vendors etc... not to mention having officials and himself at both locations. It will be one location, no definite decisions have been made at this point. the only decision that has been made is that the Pond Hockey Classic will happen no matter what!

Wrong Tourney, the one they are talking about is in Concord NH, not the Lake Winni Tourney

I did not pay close enough attention to the details, just the heading.

I wish you guys the best. If it does not end up being on Waukewan someone did a lot of work for nothing. There looked to be 22 rinks snowblown there!

Unless someone created 18 rinks just for fun, this photo should tell you exactly where it will be. Yes, there are two rinks laid out at last year's location, but the ice is looking a bit thin out towards the middle of the bay.

Thanks for the great photo.
I am glad the organizers were able to have a back up plan and keep the event in Meredith.
