What started as a small backyard hockey game among friends has transformed into one of Buffalo’s biggest outdoor winter events.
The Backyard Classic, now in its 16th year, brings together teams ranging from young children to adults for a weekend of competition. But beyond the sport, the tournament’s mission remains rooted in community support.
IN 2025, THE Backyard Classic is proud to support P.U.N.T. pediatric cancer collaborative’s ultimate compassion program supporting those facing grief and loss in our community!
