The annual American Pond Hockey Invitational in Minocqua this past weekend was a boon for winter tourism in the area. The championship featured over 50 teams, including a premier division for former college players, from several states and the UK and a kids division.. Pond hockey uses smaller rinks with four players per team. Games were all scheduled to end by 7 p.m. on Saturdays to encourage players and spectators to visit local restaurants and businesses. The championship game was played Sunday afternoon. Find more information including standings on the American Pond Hockey Facebook page.
