The Backyard Classic

The Backyard Classic in its 15th year and this year will be hosted at Buffalo RiverWorks on Saturday, April 6th and Sunday, April 7th!

The Backyard Classic is proud to support PUNT, Buffalo’s Pediatric Cancer Collaborative, with all proceeds from the event. This Event is unique and unlike most pond hockey tournaments, featuring full nets and goalies, bringing the real feel of the game of hockey, outdoors where it all started.

There will be weekend long activities, Buffalo themed and hockey related vendors, live music performing Saturday night, and the ropes course will be open for the kids before, after or in between games all weekend.

Over the last 14 years the Backyard Classic has had over 600 teams, 3,500 players with more than $280,000 donated to Western New York Charities! For full details, click here.
