This weekend was the weekend of winter festivals in Buffalo including the Labatt Pond Hockey Tournament. The city plows the snow off the ice on the Erie Basin Marina and forms 8 hockey rinks. 700 players on 124 teams then spend the weekend determining which team is the best pond hockey team. Basically it is a time for men and women who like to play hockey to get together, compete and drink Labatt's Beer. A great way to spend a weekend in Buffalo. I covered Saturday of the event for Buffalo.Com and this shot was one of a team getting ready to play in the early morning start on Saturday. It was a little cold and blustery in the early morning. The ice was in good shape and the weather got better as the day moved on. It was fun.
