Pond Hockey Tournament Returns to Center Street Park
Milwaukee/Wauwatosa, WI (Saturday January 28, 2023) – The Center Street Hoser’s Mid-Winter Classic will return this Saturday January 28 starting at 10 a.m. at Center Street Park on the Milwaukee-Wauwatosa border. This will be the sixth time the puck has dropped in this tournament since it first launched in 2017.
This day-long event has grown into an annual tradition for Milwaukee’s local amateur hockey scene. This year’s tournament will pit 10 teams against each other in a classic pond hockey format. Teams will vie for the honor of taking home the Hoser Cup—a vintage, mid-century hockey trophy, with a storied past in Eastern Europe, that’s been given new life through this tournament.
All proceeds from the event go directly to supporting the ice rinks at Center Street Park.
