Located at 6420 W. Clarke St., right on the border of Milwaukee and Wauwatosa, the outdoor Rink at Center Street Park has long been a destination for local ice skaters and amateur hockey players alike. And on Saturday, January 31, it’ll be the site of the annual Center Street Hoser’s Mid-Winter Classic. It’s pond hockey season, folks!
This year’s Mid-Winter Classic—presented by the Milwaukee Admirals—will once again feature teams competing 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.” The fun begins at 10 a.m., and the championship game is expected to go down around 3 p.m.
The tournament is free to attend, though a host of sponsors will be on hand selling food and drink. Those sponsors include Cranky Al’s Donuts, Drexel Building Supplies, Dugout 54, Drunken Cobra, Walters On North, O’Brien’s Irish-American Pub, and Vennture Brew Company. Proceeds will go directly to supporting The Rink at Center Street Park.
