We’re back for another beauty of an episode, and this week we’re diving into one of the most iconic beer league weekends of the year — Jasper, Alberta — with none other than the man, the myth, the hometown legend Zach Weissbach.

From the late-night lodge stories to the early-morning struggles, we break down everything that makes the Jasper tournament a must-hit on every beer leaguer’s calendar. Zach jumps in to talk about his experience helping run the Hometown Men’s Hockey events, what makes their tournaments stand out, and some behind-the-scenes gems you won’t hear anywhere else.

We’ve got tales of questionable antics, heroic (and not-so-heroic) on-ice moments, the best barns, the best happy dads and they have zyns?? And why the brotherhood of men’s league hockey hits different in the mountains.

Whether you’ve played in Jasper, want to, or just love the chaos of tournament life — this one’s for you.

Crack a cold one, lace ’em (or don’t), and enjoy the show. 🍻🏒

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.
