Ice,
Bar,
public
skating
helicopter
rides
and
kids.
Events
such
as
coloring
contests,
snow,
art
and
prize
giveaways
and
I
can
tell
you
honorable
speaker.
It
is
quite
the
scene
at
the
if
you
ever
Vision
the
south
end
of
a
lake
all
set
up
with
10
ice
rinks
and
an
entertainment
venue.
It
is
quite
the
sight
to
see
at
the
tournament.
A
There
will
also
be
contests
for
passing
accuracy,
shootout,
hardest
shot,
Sharpshooter
and
like
every
year.
There
are
special
guests,
and
this
year
special
guests
are
none
other
than
YouTube
Sensations.
Jacob
are
down
and
Oli
postenen
of
on
the
bench,
as
well
as
the
authors
of
the
fundies,
the
essential
guide
from
on
the
bench.
The
coordinators
of
the
crystal
cup,
Neil
Evans,
is
excited
for
the
return
of
this
year's
event,
as
one
of
the
original
founders
of
the
pond
hockey
challenge
Neil
believes
that
the
crystal
cup
reaches
Beyond,
just
the
hockey
Community.
A
He
says
and
I
quote
it's
something
that
me
and
my
hockey
buddies
basically
created
and
it
brought
the
community
together,
not
just
the
hockey
Community,
but
families
and
friends
alike.
It's
this
feeling
of
not
only
being
involved
in
your
own
Community,
but
creating
your
community.
Of
course.
The
biggest
challenge
facing
any
outdoor
event
in
Canada
is
the
weather
they've
had
years
where
the
temperature
plunged
to
minus
45.
A
they've
had
years
where
it
was
plus
seven
and
soaking
wet,
and
still
they
managed
to
make
this
the
premier
hockey
Pond
event,
regardless
of
what
Mother
Nature
threw
at
them.
Finally,
honorable
speaker,
events
like
this
do
not
happen
without
volunteers
and
sponsors
and
I'd
personally
like
to
thank
each
and
every
one
of
them.
We
hope
to
see
you
come
up
to
the
peace
region,
even
if
it's
-45
and
participate
in
this
great
event.
