Sports have always been a unifying force in my life, a way to connect, grow, and build relationships. This year, our family is incredibly proud to sponsor the Syracuse Pond Hockey Classic, an event that celebrates not just the sport, but the spirit of camaraderie and tradition that makes Syracuse such a special place.
The Syracuse Pond Hockey Classic is more than a tournament. It’s a gathering of friends, families, and neighbors coming together on the ice to share a passion that runs deep in our community. For many, hockey is more than a game – it’s a way of life, a teacher of grit, resilience, and teamwork.
Growing up in this area, I’ve always been inspired by the stories of local athletes and the perseverance they show both on and off the ice. Supporting an event like this feels like a way to give back to the place that shaped so much of who I am today.
This tournament isn’t just about hockey; it’s about the life lessons learned in the rink. It’s about the early mornings, the skates laced tight, and the echo of the puck on frozen ice. It’s about bringing people together, fostering connection, and celebrating the traditions that define our community.
In sponsoring this event, our hope is to continue championing the values that hockey instills: discipline, sportsmanship, and the unyielding belief in the power of teamwork. More importantly, we hope it inspires others to find their own way to contribute to the spirit of Syracuse, whether it’s through sports, business, or simple acts of service.
To all the players, volunteers, and supporters of the Syracuse Pond Hockey Classic, thank you for making this event a cornerstone of our community. I look forward to watching the games, feeling the energy on the ice, and seeing how moments like these bring us all closer together.
Let’s make this year’s tournament not just a celebration of hockey, but a testament to the strength and unity of Syracuse. Join the fun on January 25th, 2025 in Clinton Square, Downtown Syracuse.
