Clark Lake was showing its winter side–cold but perfect for the Clark Lake Cup. This is the third time West end (the Narrows or Eagle Point) and East end (Almeda Court) suited up for the annual hockey match. The event got underway about 5:30 pm Saturday, February 6th. Almeda Court, at the east end, was the host. The first puck of the game dropped under dim sunlight. As the sunset, the lights popped on and illuminated the on-the-lake rink. Fans and participants gathered around the action, and also a fire that was built on the ice. Given the current thickness, the ice held up in spite of the flames that warmed it.
Almeda Court won in 2019 and 2020. This year belonged to the Narrows. Check it out in this highlight video.
Fans and participants enjoyed the evening in spite of the cold–about 14 degrees. It was good fortune that the wind of the last couple days did not find this area of the lake. Here are some smiling faces who came out to play or watch.
Now some action shots from the game.

Great shots. Great tradition. Great Lake!!
We have been a Clark Lake “family” since 1978 and I think this was a fantastic idea. Those brave athletes that fought off the cold to have some good old Clark Lake winter fun and entertainment should be commended. I hope my email address can be included in future mailings. Thank You
Great story! Congratulations to both teams!
Love the camaraderie and the smiles, so good to see everybody
Great job everyone! So much fun!
