Lodging Deal at the Beacons!
Players and Fans!
We’re officially into winter up here in Minocqua — the long-range forecast is calling for snow, snow, and more snow. It’s shaping up to be a true Northwoods winter for the 2026 American Pond Hockey Invitational.
As we get closer, I have a few important updates:
