The 9280 Pond Hockey Tournament, highly regarded as the #1 all-ages pond hockey tournament in the U.S., will take place the weekend of January 23 - 25, 2026 on Keystone Lake in Lakeside Village at the world famous Keystone Mountain Ski Resort. It's a setting like none other, and the only hot-water zambonied outdoor ice rink in the country. In addition to the wildly popular Adult Division including Open, Silver, Bronze, Copper, 40+, and 50+, 9280 PHT offers a sizable Youth Division along with a U8 specific Tournament as well.
From our inaugural Tournament in 2015 when we hosted 40 teams, to 2025 when over 220 teams participated, we're so grateful to the loyal adult and youth players who have joined us over the years (many of them EVERY year), as well as the new teams and players who find us for the first time. The 9280 Pond Hockey Tournament is truly a family-friendly one-of-a-kind outdoor experience, said to be "their most favorite weekend of hockey every year" by pretty much everyone who attends. Needless to say we love putting it together, and look forward to seeing everyone's smiling and happy faces in 2026!
Testimonials
What a great event! We brought up our entire youth hockey organization this year and can't wait to do it again next year.
Chris Gassman - Colorado Jr. Eagles, Director
I hope everyone who worked on the event knows what amazing job they did. And moving registration made check-in even easier - really well-run. For our older boys it’s a weekend for them to connect with buddies across teams, spend time with teammates and spend hours and hours on their skates enjoying the sport. For parents it’s a great time to appreciate the hockey community without the same competitiveness of the regular season.
Tina Friedman (mom of a goalie!!!)
Always a debate who had more fun… The kids or the parents?! Thanks again for a well run tournament and what amazing weather. Look forward to seeing you guys again next year!

This is the #1 Pond Hockey Tournament in Colorado, hands down and the only one CCM Hockey supports. Well done Delly & Gemps!
Taylor Guay - CCM Hockey
Hello! I just wanted to thank you, and everyone involved for another amazing 9280 Pond Hockey tournament! We had four boys play, on four different teams, each in a different division, and they all had an awesome time. We, and so many other parents that we know, continue to say that this is, and has been, our favorite weekend of the year.

I have enjoyed 9280 Pond Hockey for so many years. It made my entire family so jealous that they flew in from around the world to enjoy it. What a tremendous family reunion we had! First time father, sons, cousins and grandsons were able to play on the same team together, and there couldn't be a better environment for the rest of the family to come out and cheer us on!
Matt Helber
I cannot believe the quality of the ice at this tournament. It is the best outdoor ice I have ever skated on, and one of main reasons we keep coming back every year to this amazing tournament. Kudos on a job well done!
