History of the Pond Hockey Tournament:

For years before the event's eventual inception, PJ Connolly was one of many students expressing the desire for an outdoor hockey tournament. During his senior year and as an employee of RecWell (formerly Rec Sports), Connolly decided to do something about it. He and co-founder Josiah Zanghi organized meetings, planned every detail of the tournament, and created the rinks. The first annual Connolly Classic was held on February 8 and 9 on Lake Mendota in 2014.

Year after year, the tournament continues to grow into Connolly’s and Zanghi’s vision.
