The 5th annual US Pond Hockey Championships were held this past weekend at Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis. There were over 1500 players, with teams from all over the country, Canada and England. Every year it seems to be getting bigger and better.

Unfortunately, the weather was not the best this weekend with temps in the high 30's and rain! (Yes, rain in January!!) But that did not stop Pete from taking Drew and a friend down to see a little bit of this fun event.
