PALMER LAKE, Colorado — The 2nd Annual Palmer Lake Outdoor Classic was a huge success. The round robin hockey tournament featured four high school hockey teams this year.

Lewis-Palmer, Pine Creek, Cheyenne Mountain and Chaparral High Schools competed on a frozen pond in front of a large crowd.

Lewis-Palmer head coach Scott Bradley created the classic to help fund his hockey program.

"It's our main fundraiser for the year," said Coach Bradley.

Plus, players enjoy the change of pace getting to play outdoors under the lights.

"It's just a totally different experience and just a great time," said Lewis-Palmer senior Ben Amhaus.

Chaparral won the championship after they beat Lewis-Palmer in a shootout.
