Forty-eight hockey teams from across the continent skated their way to Inlet for the 5th Annual Adirondack Ice Bowl pond hockey tournament on Friday and Saturday, January 25 and 26.
Jim O’Brien, the event organizer, said there was standing room at this year’s event—doubling the size of last year’s tourney.
O’Brien said the event went off without a hitch, crediting the extreme cold weather during the week and weekend.
The winner of the open division tournament was Dirty Jerz from New Jersey which competed against the Gordy Go Hards from New York City.
In the over-40 age division, the Sunday Brews from Saratoga defeated Utica Club for the Championship win.
“The ice looked great—we were able to make ice with our zambonies. And we even had some planes stop in to watch,” O’Brien said of the event.
