Barstool Pond Hockey
It looks like it might be a second tournament in Meredith. Saw a post online that has the date Feb 21 & 22. The PHC is the weekend of 1/31 - 2/2.

Is it a second tournament or has Barstool taken over the original? The guys doing it in past have done a fantastic job but if Barstool is involved it will go to another level. For those unaware Barstool Sports is HUGE with the under 30 crowd.

Checked the PHC website. Looks like 2 separate tourneys a few weeks apart. Good luck to both but not sure how that will work out. Maybe if the new one was on different part of lake. Wolfeboro bay?

and the weekend inbetween will be the fishing derby, so looks like they are piggy backing off of the PHC
so question is, they going to block off the existing rinks for the derby or will people be skating over old fishing holes lol. Will be interesting how they set up

Thank You!
Thank you so much Scott Crowder for starting all the pond hockey here in Meredith and bringing in so much revenue to the lake in just that short period of time. It's also so nice to have such a nice family event that eveyone can enjoy.

I'm also wondering if there is enough time to make this one as organized at PHC. in way of all the aspects logistics for the participants.

They shouldn't need quite as much organization as the NEPHC as the event will be much smaller with just 32 teams scheduled to play. Also, they've recently had a ton of success launching a series of golf tournaments all over the country so they have plenty of experience hosting similar events. Lastly, they're a multi-million dollar operation so their budget to clear whatever hurdles may come up is much larger than NEPHC has to work with to host a much larger event. In short, they won't have any problems pulling this off.
With only 32 teams in play, they will only need a fraction of the rinks (maybe 8 as opposed to 20-something?) that the NEPHC uses, so I'd anticipate the area surrounding the small island in Meredith Bay will remain roped off to ice fishermen but the vast majority of the bay will be open. This event will be more about the party Friday night than the actual hockey on Saturday. Barstool knows how to bring a good time so looking forward to this event. |
