American Pond Hockey
Friday, February 6, 2026 -- Sunday, February 8, 2026, 1500 - 1250
The event is wide open for spectators, families, and anyone looking to experience winter the way it was meant to be: outdoors, on the ice, surrounded by community.
Come down to the Aqua Bowl and take in one of the most unique winter sporting events in the Midwest:
What to Expect
- Fast-paced outdoor pond hockey on multiple rinks
- Free public skating rink
- Breathtaking winter atmosphere with crisp air, music, and lights on the ice
- Food, drinks and local vendors supporting the Minocqua community
- Community activations and non-profit fundraisers
- Family-friendly environment perfect for kids, parents and winter enthusiasts
Why It’s Special
APH isn’t just a tournament-it’s a winter celebration built in partnership with the Town of Minocqua, Min-Aqua Bats, local businesses, and community groups. This year marks the first time all three have collaborated to make public ice skating at the Aqua Bowl a reality.
Whether you’re here to watch elite pond hockey, skate with family, or simply take in the atmosphere, the APH weekend is free to attend and built for everyone.
Location
The Aqua Bowl - Downtown Minocqua
(Outdoor rinks on the lake, right in front of the bowl)

Warm layers - Skates if you want to skate - Friends and family - A sense of adventure
Specifics:
The weekend kicks off with a welcome party on Thursday night, February 5th.
Gameplay starts on Friday and continues Saturday morning.

Open Championship Sunday at noon.
What Sets American Pond Hockey Apart?
American Pond Hockey isn’t just another tournament-it’s a player-first experience built from the ice up. Our mission is to over-serve every team, delivering a level of care and professionalism typically reserved for elite athletes. From detailed pre-event communication to hands-on hospitality throughout the weekend, we take pride in creating a tournament environment that feels intentional, personal, and elevated.
What sets us apart? It starts with our ice. We obsess over rink quality to give players the cleanest, safest, most consistent surface possible-because outdoor hockey should feel as good as it looks. Off the ice, every detail matters: from curated music and scheduled game times to warm-up zones and real-time updates, we go further so you can focus on having a good time.
Players also enjoy unique amenities that elevate the entire experience, including handcrafted, limited-edition American Pond Hockey beer and exclusive merchandise-available only on-site. And when it's time to recover or warm up, our wood-burning saunas are fired up and waiting.
Get your squad ready, mark your calendars, and stay tuned for updates.
See you on the ice.
