The 2025 Christmas Classic Battle of the Brothers Division is in the books and most importantly 3600 pounds of non-perishable food are on the shelves of the Open Arms Mission’s Food Bank. No other league is touching our generosity and ability to play a super compact tournament in seven hours, which only gives us the chance to get back to our sponsor the Rex Hotel for more Pizza after the tourney.
Congrats to Cooks Mills Cougars the 2025 WNHL Christmas Classic Champs who beat out the Stack Brothers in an epic game that was tied coming out of the regulation and OT and settled by Nicky Villela in the Shootout. It was one of the most entertaining Championship Games in Christmas Classic history.
Thanks to the players and fans that donated on November 29th as the rink was a buzz with excitement and the smell of rolling hot dogs and hockey gear carried through the rafters of the 60 year old barn! No better way to kick off the holidays for these well-tuned athletes.
