In Lake Placid, skating on Mirror Lake is considered a must-do. When winter rolls around, the entire lake freezes, creating opportunities for ice skating, dog sledding, walking, and even a toboggan chute. Locals and visitors alike take advantage of the lake for skating, hockey, and other winter recreation, making it one of the most enjoyable traditions in Lake Placid.
A couple of weeks ago, the Varsity team had the privilege of practicing on Mirror Lake. A random wheel spinner split the guys into four separate teams by color: red, yellow, blue, and white. The games lasted 5 minutes and were refereed by Coaches Jeff Miller and Tommy Spero.

In the end, the red team went undefeated and won the tournament. Overall, it was a fun day out on the lake, and the boys made the most of it. “It was a great time. Playing hockey on Mirror Lake is not something you get to do every day, so I made the most of it. I knew we were going to win, too; our team was stacked! Super fun experience,” said Jett Travis ’27.
