The video below is from the last village board meeting.  Amy Griswold presents the Pond Hockey Tournament to the board which they approved.  Amy also describes some of the subtle differences in game play,  It will be a great event for players and spectators.  Fast paced multiple games being played simultaneously.  Lots of food, entertainment and my favorite beer LABATT BLUE!
