Canadian National Pond Hockey Championships

The Canadian National Pond Hockey Championships are held annually at the Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, Muskoka District Municipality, Ontario, Canada.

The pond hockey variant used at the nationals plays 4 on 4 without a goalie, with two 15-minute halves and 5-minute halftime break. The winners of the three championship divisions are awarded the coveted Maple Cup.

Men's Ontario Championship

The Ontario qualifier for the Canadian Nationals lasted only one year. The host site was Valen's Conservation Area in Flamborough, Ontario. The tournament is otherwise an annual event. The Barrie Bruins defeated the Milton Moose Knuckles 14-8 to take the Ontario title.
