The inaugural Center Street Hoser’s Mid-Winter Classic will be held on Saturday, February 11th from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Center Street Park on the Milwaukee-Wauwatosa border.

The day-long tournament will pit local teams against each other in a pond hockey format for the right to lift the Hoser Cup – a vintage, mid-century hockey trophy, with a storied past, that’s been given new life through this tournament. The championship game will be played under the lights after sunset, with the tournament’s lead sponsor WaterStone Bank, presenting the trophy to the winning team.

In addition to the hockey tournament, the event will feature a number of Northwoods inspired activities, foods, and drinks.

The Friends of Center Street Park will be selling a variety of food and drinks in the warming house, where spectators can warm up by the park’s fireplace between games. All proceeds from the event will go towards supporting improvements in the park.

The tournament is dependent on the weather, so for more up-to-date information, visit the Friends of Center Street Park’s Facebook page.
