Pond Hockey Tournaments
The Corky Cup: Adult Pond Hockey
Fees:
Each team must designate one person to register the team - $150 per team. Be sure to list your teammates and team name.
Format:
Same general format as last year: two, six-minute half's with a three-minute intermission, three-on-three, pond-hockey style cross-ice games, pond hockey style nets, helmets, gloves, and shin guards are allowed, elbow pads are OK for weaker skaters, no other gear this year (pants, shoulder pads, etc) need to even the playing field.
Here we go again! On December 27th, we will hold the 2025 Corky Cup Pond Hockey Tournament at the Winter Club. Games will kick off at 1:00 pm and go until there’s a champion. The theme this year is Minnesota High School playoffs, and in addition to the tournament, there will be prizes for the best uniforms/costumes and team names!
Team Name/Uni's: Bring your creativity and fun to the day with prizes on the line for best Team Name and Uniforms. Keep it clean (ish) on the names – if you can say the name to your grandmother with a straight face, then it’s fine, if not… use your judgment, please.
The More the Merrier: We strongly encourage spectators (including kids) and matching fan gear with your teams. There will be a food truck and plenty of holiday cheer by the scoreboard.
Cost: The Team Captain or designated person will register the threesome and pay $150 ($50 per player) to cover the event costs, as well as any additional funds raised, to be donated in honor of John Corcoran to one of his favorite organizations, Southern CT Storm Special Hockey.
Given the anticipated participation, we’re limiting players to current NCWC members or family of current members (men and women welcome) over 18 years old.
Registration: To register, please visit the NCWC website > Register > Register Now. Please sign up ASAP, as we expect this event to sell out.
Questions: Reach out to Wyley Scherr at wyleyscherr@yahoo.com with any questions.
