The Boys Are Going To Wisconsin! American Pond Hockey With Guest Will Jeffery

Randy, Clint, Tyler & Tyson Season 2 Episode 3

A Chicago-area native and collegiate lacrosse player, Will Jeffery is the founder of American Pond Hockey, a fast-growing winter event in Minocqua, Wisconsin that blends classic outdoor hockey with community, tourism, and small-town spirit. What started as a few rinks on the lake has evolved into a full-scale tournament that draws teams from across the country — and even internationally — while supporting local non-profits and businesses.

Will’s vision goes beyond a single weekend of competition. By maintaining public ice all winter long, American Pond Hockey helps create a free skating space for the community, boosts winter tourism, and showcases the resilience and creativity that define life in the Northwoods.

Whether he’s talking about the art of ice maintenance, the role of local partnerships like Rocky Reef Brewing Co., or how pond hockey connects generations, Will brings a contagious passion for grassroots sports and community building that listeners can feel.
