The USA Hockey Pond Hockey National Championships!!! Every February since 2006 over 300 teams from across the country and all walks of life travel to Dollar Lake to find common ground on natural ice. This throwback style of hockey has a low-tech charm to it, played under a canopy of the sky on a frozen lake rimmed by hardy pine trees. Everyone enjoys memories of a simpler time when the light of the day was the only clock that mattered, when teams were chosen from a pile of sticks and success was measured by how much fun you had with friends. This four-on-four shinny hockey tournament is all about camaraderie and played in two 15 minute halves on rinks carved out of snow.

Get outside and play! Nestled in the beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin, the Town of Conover hosts this annual winter event.

If that’s not enough motivation to go outside and play, this winter event raises money for local Fire and EMS Departments – that’s right all proceeds go to support these vital local services! A Flurry of Winter Fun for Everyone!
