What a weekend. ❤️🏒❄️
To our entire community — thank you.
(And yes — if you’re reading this, we’re talking to you.)
Mother Nature threw us a curve ball, and we all had to roll with it. But if there’s one thing the hockey community knows how to do, it’s adapt, rally, and make the most of it. We truly hope you still had an amazing time — because honestly, we wouldn’t want to party on 4th Lake with anyone else.
To every team that showed up ready for a weekend of competitive hockey and instead embraced pick-up pond hockey and some well-earned chill time — thank you. Without you, there is no Adirondack Ice Bowl. Your energy, flexibility, and love for the game are what make this event what it is.
We also owe a massive debt of gratitude to our incredible volunteer crew. From the heavy lifting during setup to the final sweep of cleanup, you are the backbone of this event. Your willingness to jump in, rain or shine (or slush), ensures that the Adirondack Ice Bowl remains a community staple year after year.
A special shout-out goes to our dedicated Ice Crew. These legends spent thousands of hours prepping the surface, battling the elements, and working tirelessly throughout the last three months. Your passion for the pond is unmatched - especially you Karl Marsh!
A special thank you to our great site host, Eagle Bay Village for welcoming us and supporting this wild, wonderful weekend.
And to Front Door Diner & Back Door Bar — thank you for slinging the food and beverages all day and helping keep the good times rolling.
To every one of our sponsors — we are beyond grateful. Your support makes this event possible, year after year.
And to our presenting sponsors — Saranac, Utica Club, Drink Surfside, and McCraith Beverages — The Adirondack Ice Bowl Presented by Saranac, Utica Club, and Surfside may have taken on a different focus than we planned… but in many ways, it couldn’t have aligned more perfectly: community coming together, having fun, doing good, and getting outside to celebrate it all.
And finally, a huge thank you to Oh Kane for bringing the music and keeping the energy high—thank you for keeping everyone dancing and the vibes right all weekend long!
That’s what this is about.
We can’t wait to see everyone back on the ice for Ice Bowl 27. Bigger. Better. And ready for whatever comes our way. 💪❄️🏒
