The Long Island Blues were proud to welcome our friends from the New Jersey Dare Devils, Southern Connecticut Storm and NoVA Cool Cats to our Winter Classic this year. Saturday the teams all went head to head in separate games at the Town of Oyster Bay Skating Center. Sunday saw some true “Winter Classic” outdoor hockey at Marjorie Post Community Park. Those players who stayed over got to play under sunny skies in a combined team game. Great hockey, friendships new and old and the best sportsmanship around are what defines this tournament. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this event a huge success.

Our annual tournament is a much anticipated event each season. This year The Long Island Blues will be welcoming the New Jersey Dare Devils, the Southern Connecticut Storm and the Nova Cool Cats. Raffles, 50/50, plenty of hockey and an awards ceremony will highlight Saturday’s festivities which run from 3:00 -8:00 pm. Sunday will feature true “Winter Classic” outdoor games at the Marjorie Post Outdoor Skating Rink in Massapequa from 9:30-11:30 am. Come and join us for a great time and support special hockey.

The Blues were thrilled to spend part of the holiday break participating in the Winterfest tournament sponsored by the York Polar Bears. The team played hard, had a blast and exhibited great sportsmanship. Thank you Polar Bears for an amazing event.

Thank you to the Central Park North Stars for hosting us in an outdoor game in the Park. Everyone had a blast and so much fun skating outside the cold weather didn’t bother us!!!
