2026 Binghamton Pond Festival

Thank you for participating in our survey. Your Ringwood Hawks coaches are seeking your response so we can assess how many players are interested at each age group (8U, 10U, 12U) in attending the BingPond Fest occurring Jan 23-25th so we know how many teams to register, in addition to getting rooms blocked at the local hotel so we can have off ice fun! Please respond by end of day Wednesday, 11/5.
Last year was the first year Ringwood Hawks registered and attended the BingPond Fest and it was an awesome experience! Below is the link to the website for more information, and on the website you'll see the events Facebook page where prior year photos and most up to date announcements are made by the organizer. I've also included information based on last years experience below in the survey.
The cost to enter a team is $600 across all age groups. My estimate per player at each group based on last year is as follows:
  • 8U (4v4) - 2 teams; approx. 12 players = ~$100/player
  • 10U (3v3) - 1 team; approx. 6-8 players = ~$100/player
  • 12U (3v3)(multi-year 12U players may need to play up to fill team) - 1 team; approx. 6 players = ~$100/player
Hotel cost last year for 1 room, 2 nights (Fri/Sat) was $412
Additional information about the weekend based on last year (subject to change so check the website and event Facebook page):
  • Hotel is about 15-20 minutes from the park where the Festival is. There are basically two hotels in the area and they fill up fast.
  • Friday night game under the lights: All age groups will most likely have a game Friday night. Because we're traveling, the director will put us at a 7pm, 8pm or 9pm game.
  • Saturday game day: Games run from 9am to 9pm. If you have kids in multiple age groups it will be a busy weekend, but there should be some down time. Saturday night there will also be fireworks!
  • Sunday game day: Games run from 9am to 5pm. Director will try to put teams that travel earlier. I think the last game was 2 or 3pm last year
  • Dress warm! Last year I think there were record lows up there at that time and it was still an amazing time!
