European Pond Hockey Championship - For the love of the game.
Take checks and slapshots out of hockey, subtract goalies, offside and icing; what remains is hockey in it’s purest form. And that is pond hockey: hockey for the sake of it. Here it’s all about the beauty, the elegance and of course the fun of the game. Skill is what you need!

Because Ritten boasts a long history of playing hockey that dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, with this tournament we wish to pay tribute to the roots fastest team sport in the world. Allow us to invite you to the “European Pond Hockey Championship”, the unofficial European Championship of pond hockey right here in the heart of beautiful South Tyrol.
