One Wayne County community is expected to score big this weekend! Honesdale is gearing up to host an indoor field hockey tournament that's expected to attract hundreds from all over the state. Organizers consider this year their "Platinum" year as the event is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
Newswatch 16's Ryan Leckey previewed the big tournament today and found out it not only scores points for various teams, but also surrounding businesses. Some of the 500 plus participates, ranging from ages 10 to 40 years old, spend the weekend in Honesdale eating at local restaurants and staying at area hotels. The 20 year tournament has also been the place where three current USA National Field Hockey Players have competed in. They're from our area! They include: Paige Selenski from Kingston, Kelsey Kolojchick from Larksville, and Kate Sharkey from Moosic.
The indoor field hockey tournament gets underway tomorrow (Friday, April 1) at 5 p.m. inside the Honesdale High School gym. It runs Saturday from around 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. Games take place in both the high school and middle school gymnasiums. The event is considered a fun gathering for teams during their "off-season."
