Bend Winter Classic 12U/14U Jan 23-25

I'm excited to announce the Bend Winter Classic; our home tournament right here at the Pavilion — January 23–25, 2026! We’ll be welcoming six 12U teams and six 14U teams to town for three full days of hockey, and we can’t wait to pack the rink, show off Bend, and create an awesome weekend for our players and visiting teams.

Volunteers are critical to pull this event off. Please be on the lookout for a sign up coming soon! But for now….

Raffle Basket Donations Needed

As part of the tournament weekend, we’ll be selling raffle tickets with a lineup of fun raffle baskets. We’re asking families to donate a themed basket (or items we can assemble into baskets).

Popular basket ideas include:

- Lottery tickets basket
- Alcohol basket (wine/beer/spirits—only where allowed and handled by adults)
- Movie night basket (popcorn, candy, streaming gift card, cozy blanket)
- Pizza night / family dinner basket (gift cards, snacks, sodas)
- Hockey Mom / Hockey Dad basket
- Self-care basket (lotions, candles, bath goodies)
- Hockey swag basket
- Candy + treats basket
- Coffee lover basket (local beans, mugs, gift cards)
- Game night basket (cards, board game, snacks)

How to Donate

If you’d like to contribute a basket or specific items, let me know (my email is below). I'll coordinate the logistics around drop-off and answer your questions. We'll make sure everything is organized and accounted for.

Thank you for helping us bring an incredible tournament weekend to life. On behalf of the Steering Committee, we're so glad to have you as part of it.

See you at the rink!
