SIDNEY — The popular Maine Pond Hockey Classic—a fun-filled throw-back experience that attracts thousands of fans and participants each year—will be held Feb. 9-11, 2024, at the scenic Snow Pond Center for the Arts in Sidney. The event is a fundraiser for the Alfond Youth & Community Center—a unique partnership of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Waterville, The Waterville Area YMCA, and the Alfond Youth Center—which serves more than 5,000 youth in Maine through its main facility in Waterville. AYCC is actively seeking sponsors interested in having a positive, enduring impact on young people, as well as 120 teams of eight players each. Registration is open with information available at MPHC’s website, https://www.mainepondhockey.org, or by emailing MEPondHockeyClassic@gmail.com.
The event planners say the Maine Pond Hockey Classic will be “a hockey tournament and much, much more”—a kind of winter carnival with additional activities and entertainment offered, including live music, food vendors, interactive games, and opportunities for families and friends to enjoy a truly memorable weekend together. In addition to the life-changing impact sponsorship can have on young people, sponsors will enjoy the benefits of highly positive exposure and visibility through their participation in the event.
Sponsorship packages include branding opportunities, promotional materials, and acknowledgments that showcase sponsors’ commitment to supporting youth and community programs.
