"Tournament Weekend January 24-26, 2014
4th Lake, Inlet NY
Woods Inn
presented by Hamilton Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine
Tucked in between the hills and evergreens of upstate New York, the Adirondack Ice Bowl provides hockey enthusiasts a rare opportunity to play the game on a natural surface in the heart of the Adirondack Park. The official pond hockey boards allow for a competitive pace of play, and ensure the puck spends more time on the playing surface than the surrounding snow banks.
Although there aren’t any goalies, goals are no easy dump-in at the Ice Bowl. The AIB’s custom pond hockey goals make players work for each goal just as they would in a real game. Fan Shootouts between games also give spectators an opportunity to shoot on the AIB goals for free merchandise and other prizes.
The tournament’s featured events are the championship games played Saturday night under the lights."
