“The Golden Pick” Tommyknocker Pond Hockey Tournament
2016 Dates: January 16 & 17
This tourney will bring back childhood memories of afternoon hockey games played against friends. This annual tournament has been a huge hit, bringing the locals out to cheer on teams from all over Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas! The 3-on-3 round robin format insures that everyone plays at least 2-3 games (plus tourney play), local restaurants ensure that everyone eats well, and the Tommyknocker Tavern hosts live music for evening entertainment. And new this year: The Creede Repertory Theatre will be putting on a performance of Boomtown on Friday night around 7pm!
IMG_0625aCreede has two ponds just north of town that serve as the host site for this tournament. The ponds are at 8900 feet, making this one of the highest pond hockey tournaments on earth. The scenery is incredible! Updated facilities include a warming hut, and (NEW) zamboni shed constructed by Carhartt and Jason Mamoa’s Pride of Gypsies in February 2015! You will be skating beneath 800 ft canyon walls with wildlife roaming nearby. Bonfires burn near the ponds all day, and our warming hut offers food and drinks.
Registration from 7:30-8:30 on Saturday
