Empire State Winter Games

The Empire State Winter Games (ESWG) stands as the premier Olympic-style winter sporting event in the Northeast. This community-focused celebration showcases the talents of athletes while honoring the beauty of winter in the Adirondacks. The festivities kick off with a torch relay that spans 700 miles, culminating in an opening ceremony that officially marks the beginning of three days filled with competitions. The ESWG is designed to be a memorable experience for families and sports enthusiasts alike!

Tupper Lake Welcomes Sled Hockey 

The Tupper Lake Memorial Civic Center is gearing up to once again welcome Sled Hockey Athletes from around the northeast to compete in fast-paced action on February 6-8, 2026. 

About Adaptive Sled Hockey

Sled hockey follows most typical ice hockey rules, with the exception of the equipment. Players sit in specially designed sleds that rest on two hockey skate blades. There are two sticks for each player instead of one, and the sticks have metal picks on the butt end for players to propel themselves. Goalies make modifications to their gloves—metal picks are sewn into the back to allow the goalie to maneuver.
