[HOCKEY] You know that scene in The Mighty Ducks when a young Gordon Bombay plays pond hockey while his father watches with an approving grin? You could have that memory too, that is, if you’ve signed up to play in the eighth annual Labatt Blue Pond Hockey Tourney.

This year the tournament will take place at the brand new rinks at Buffalo RiverWorks. Nearly 1,000 players across 144 novice, recreational, and intermediate womens and mens teams will take the ice to compete on six outdoor, refrigerated rinks. The first round will begin on Friday, February 20 at noon and continue on Saturday, February 21 at 10:30am. The tournament wraps up on Sunday, February 22 with several championship games.

Expect live music from Buffalo rock n’ roll band Strictly Hip; a live art expo featuring artist Dave Arrigo, who will paint a couple of huge murals on-site; Sabres Alumni, Ric Seiling and Craig Muni, and an interactive Sled Hockey display. Ok, hands in: Quack, quack, quack…
