Welcome to Wally Ice Fest!

EXPLORE THE WINTER WONDERS OF THE NORTHERN POCONOS

This year’s Pocono Pond Hockey / Wally Ice Fest will be held at a pond in nearby Newfoundland PA (875 Main Street, Newfoundland, PA)! This year’s festival will be much more than hockey! Spectators can enjoy live music all day, bonfires, ice golf, keg curling, keg tossing, axe-throwing, and more, and if all the stars align for us this year, our Pocono Pond Hockey tournament will be filled with 30+ teams from Long Island, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and all points in between  Local brewing companies and food vendors will be rounding out the event with food and drinks for all!

The events are planned for February 1st and 2nd, 2025, so come to play and stay in our winter wonderland and enjoy some of the area’s best entertainment, restaurants, and lodging!

Play Some Hockey!

There is nothing better than hockey outdoors. Something about being in nature on a frozen pond makes one feel closer to the true spirit of the game. The sport is infamous for being difficult, but when played on a frozen lake during the coldest days of the year, hockey rewards everyone in the game. Those fortunate enough to make it through the playoffs will be rewarded with special prizes. Little is required other than skates, sticks, gloves, helmets, and enthusiasm. We’ll provide the rest! We plan to have 6-8 rinks set up, featuring up to 6 different Divisions. Hockey is planned for entire day Saturday and a half-day Sunday.

Activities Galore!

The Pond Hockey Ice Crew will be organizing and facilitating activities for all ages, including public skating (bring your own skates), corn-hole tournaments, ice golf chipping, keg curling, axe-throwing, and much more!  

Warm up alongside a massive country bonfire with a hot drink or inside our entertainment tent where we will have live bands playing 10-8 on Saturday and from 11-3 on Sunday!
