Hockey Strong
The Pond is excited to introduce "Hockey Strong" classes. Workouts will be non-stop movement and circuit training focused on building core strength, stability, endurance, explosiveness, and injury prevention through rigorous calisthenics, Olympic weightlifting, power-lifting, plyometrics, kettle bell exercises... think "Crossfit" for hockey players. These 45-minute workouts will be professionally coached by the team from Efficient Exercise. Sign up for a free session.

The Turkey Shootout II

Our Adult Turkey Shootout Tournament will take place November 29th, from 5-10pm! Four 25-minute full ice, mixed league style games. There will be consolation and championship games. The Pond will create teams and provide beer, pizza, water and sports drinks. Austin Beerworks will also be open next door during their normal happy hour.
Robby Glantz Recap

The Pond hosted Robby Glantz, power skating coach to the LA Kings, in September! Our Mallards received 5 1/2 hours of coaching over a three day period. Our adult league players attended one session. We received rave reviews! Parents and players could not believe the improvements made over the course of the weekend. We plan to have Robby return! 
Important Pond Policies and Notifications

The following is information about how and when programs are announced and some guidelines to follow. Thank you for your cooperation with the following policies:

  • Program sign ups are on the Website under the appropriate age category. Additionally, programs are announced prior to each "season" in our Monthly Newsletter.
  • Programs are typically announced 1-2 months in advance. If there is low interest, we will most likely cancel the program, so sign up early! Additionally, if a program is full, the registration will close. We repeat, "sign up early." 
  • We will not be able to prorate program packages once they are in session. Drop in rates are usually available, but if you want to purchase the whole package, you will be responsible for the full amount.
  • Program fees are not negotiable. Program prices are listed online, please do not negotiate with our staff. 
  • Players under 14 must be supervised in our upstairs space. 
  • Our hours of operation are listed on the website under "About." They are also listed on the daily Calendar. The facility opens 30 minutes prior to the first program of the day. 
  • Occasionally we have to make changes to our programs, specifically, Pond Time. PLEASE check the calendar prior to coming. We make every attempt to make changes as far in advance as possible. 
  • While we make every effort to answer our phone, we have a loud lobby (which is not conducive to phone conversations) and are usually taking care of customers who are at the facility. If you need a quick response, please email clive@pondhockeyclub.com or jason@pondhockeyclub.com.
