What makes this one unique? What sets it apart? This tournament isn't on a pond, but on a soccer field. Three rinks in total. This is the largest man(woman)-made non refrigerated ice sheet in the Northwest they believe!

Third Assist's Take: As we've been developing these spotlights we've found it's hard not to put every tournament on your pond hockey bucket list. However in the lower 48 it's tough to find one with a more breathtaking backdrop than Ketchum (Sun Valley), Idaho. A pond hockey tournament in this location could be the centerpiece to a larger winter recreation excursion with the ability to last weeks. With the Idaho Pond Hockey Classic we're glad to shine some light on one of the best pond hockey tournaments in the west. Find out more on their town website: www.ketchumidaho.org
