Barstool Pond Hockey

and the weekend inbetween will be the fishing derby, so looks like they are piggy backing off of the PHC

so question is, they going to block off the existing rinks for the derby or will people be skating over old fishing holes lol. Will be interesting how they set up

I would imagine that the rinks would stay up but that's not going to make the fisherman happy.

Thank you so much Scott Crowder for starting all the pond hockey here in Meredith and bringing in so much revenue to the lake in just that short period of time. It's also so nice to have such a nice family event that eveyone can enjoy.

I'm also wondering if there is enough time to make this one as organized at PHC. in way of all the aspects logistics for the participants.

Barstool has plenty of money behind them, I am sure it will not be an issue unless the weather does not cooperate

They shouldn't need quite as much organization as the NEPHC as the event will be much smaller with just 32 teams scheduled to play. Also, they've recently had a ton of success launching a series of golf tournaments all over the country so they have plenty of experience hosting similar events. Lastly, they're a multi-million dollar operation so their budget to clear whatever hurdles may come up is much larger than NEPHC has to work with to host a much larger event. In short, they won't have any problems pulling this off.

With only 32 teams in play, they will only need a fraction of the rinks (maybe 8 as opposed to 20-something?) that the NEPHC uses, so I'd anticipate the area surrounding the small island in Meredith Bay will remain roped off to ice fishermen but the vast majority of the bay will be open.

This event will be more about the party Friday night than the actual hockey on Saturday. Barstool knows how to bring a good time so looking forward to this event.
