Unfortunately, since the ice at Cheshire's Mixville Pond has melted away, you'll have to go inside to watch a game. Fortunately, there are plenty of options for some great hockey games in Cheshire and the surrounding areas...

Cheshire is lucky enough to be have a premier franchise in the American Hockey League within close reach. The Hartford Wolf Pack is a primary development affiliate of the NHL's New York Rangers. They play at the XL Center in Hartford, not far from Cheshire, and a great place to take family and friends for a good game and a overall fantastic time.

Take a look at some of the upcoming games - always with a promotional event thrown in - to make the night even more memorable.

The caliber of players that have played for the Wolf Pack is pretty high. Ronnie Sundin, a defenseman for the Wolf Pack in 1997-1998, went onto win a Gold Medal with the Swedish Olympic Team in the 2006 Olympics. And then there's Derek Armstrong, an AHL MVP and member of the Wolf Pack for 4 years, now plays for the Los Angeles Kings, averaging 12 goals and 39 points per campaign. The Wolf Pack themselves were 2000 AHL Champions.

On top of their success, the Hartford Wolf Pack is always getting involved with Hartford and the surrounding communiites. Going to one of the Wolf Pack's games is a guaranteed good game and good time. Of course, if you can't make it out to Hartford, the State Champion winning Cheshire Rams (Cheshire High School's Hockey Team) aren't a bad game to watch either.

If you are ever looking for fun things to do in Cheshire, please don't hesitate to ask. With all of Cheshire's athletic talent, a sports game of any kind is always a guaranteed good time.
