Weekend Extras at the Maine Pond Hockey Festival 

Before or after your games, Camp Tracy turns into a winter carnival:  bonfire socials in the Bud Light Beer Garden, live DJ sets, comfort-food chow lines, inclusive community skating, and a merch tent stocked with tournament swag. Come for the hockey, stay for the festival vibe.
