IT'S CONFIRMED....THE BEST WINTER EVENT ON THE FRONT RANGE
The Palmer Lake Outdoor Classic
Now entering its 5th year, the Palmer Lake Outdoor Classic has become a cherished tradition and small town community event. Founded as a non-profit event, its mission is simple yet powerful: grow the game of hockey in the Tri-Lakes area.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Palmer Lake and its iconic mountaintop star⭐️ this unique event transforms a frozen lake into a battlefield of frozen dreams. Food trucks, fireworks, and thousands of fans filling the lakeside, turning a small-town event into a winter celebration unlike any other. Each winter, four Colorado high schools face off in a spirited competition for "The Star" trophy—a symbol of sportsmanship and small-town rivalry.
At the heart of the event is Lewis Palmer Hockey, which uses the high school foundation game as its primary fundraiser. The energy and excitement of the community help support the team's goals and development, making this more than just a game—it's a lifeline for their hockey team. This year's matchup will feature Liberty, Chatfield, and Chaparral High Schools.
📍 Where: On the Ice in Palmer Lake
📅 When: Saturday, January 10th
🕕 Faceoff: 6:00 PM
Alongside the high school faceoffs, the weekend also features a Youth Hockey Camp where young players get to skate, learn, and grow their skills on the iconic outdoor rink as well as an adult tournament hosted by Ranger Hockey Club.
Whether you’re a player, parent, or passionate fan, the Palmer Lake Outdoor Classic is a one-of-a-kind experience that brings the entire community together—under the stars, on the ice, and at the heart of winter in Colorado.
