10th Annual Grand Lake Pond Hockey Classic
February 6 & 7, 2027
Every winter, hockey returns to its roots on the frozen surface of Grand Lake, the largest and deepest natural lake in Colorado.
The annual Grand Lake Pond Hockey Classic brings players and spectators together for two full days of outdoor games played on natural ice, surrounded by the snow-covered peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park. Games start early, the energy builds fast and the lake becomes the center of town for the weekend.
Off the ice, the weekend feels unmistakably Grand Lake. Morning coffee on frosty mornings before puck drop. Apres-skate libations and hearty meals around town. Cozy dinners, glowing storefronts and the kind of winter nights that make staying an extra day an easy decision.
If you’re looking for a winter weekend that combines live action, small-town vibes and true mountain atmosphere, this is it. Plan to arrive early, stay late and make the most of one of Grand Lake’s most iconic winter traditions.
