​Pond Fest annually features mechanical refrigeration for our 220'x110' outdoor ice rink to manage weather concerns related to outdoor hockey just like the NHL does for its outdoor games. In recent years we have completed all games played in challenging weather conditions such as heat exceeding 60 degrees with direct sunlight on the ice surface, monsoon type rains, and squall like snow storms. Please know if you chose to play at Pond Fest we will do everything we can to ensure you get to play your games.

Pond Fest has also worked to build out its entertainment value to people beyond the hockey actual. The event now host a variety of activities to make it fun and inviting to anyone, even if they don't care about the hockey action.

Get out of the house, come join us, and meet some new friends.

Let's go back to the old hockey days, when we played outdoors.

When we were little and wore three layers of everything.

When we couldn't feel our fingers or toes.

When we could feel the wind on our face and see our breath.

We'll be so excited we won't even be worried about how cold it is.


It will be the same feelings all over again.
