This year's Labatt Blue Pond Hockey Tournament was bigger and better than last year. For the second year in a row, countless families, hockey fans and beer lovers trekked down to the Erie Basin Marina to witness sixty-four teams battle it out on 136,000 square feet of Lake Erie ice. When we arrived to the scene at 1pm, we were psyched to see the crowd along the water's edge standing four to five deep.
Congratulations to Cozumel, the winning team (beating the Icemen 8 to 5).

Winner of the 2008 Bassmaster Elite Series Empire Chase Kotaro Kiriyama.
Thinking small paid big dividends for Bassmaster Elite Series pro Kotaro Kiriyama of Moody, Ala., as he kept with a plan to key in on bait fish and surged to the lead Saturday to take the lead on Day 3 in the Empire Chase presented by Farmer’s Insurance. Kiriyama’s 25 pounds is the heaviest five-fish limit of the four-day tournament so far on Lake Erie and the Niagara River.
