    ​SUPERIOR, Wisc. — The Lake Superior Kubb Club hosted their first annual tournament Ice Festival tournament this past weekend.  It was held on the lake just off of Barkers Island in Superior. The festival itself had numerous events going on throughout the day including motorcycle ice racing, ice carving, and a polar plunge/sauna area. The kubb tournament was in a beautiful location near the island, a view of the historic part of town, and convenient amenities nearby. Nine teams participated, seven of which were local and the remaining two from Chaska Kubb.

    Organizers, Shane, Erik, Jenny, and Stephanie Linge were gracious hosts. They provided free food, coffee, Rebuilding Blocks books, outstanding hot chocolate, and a yurt in which to keep us all warm. This venue ranks in Chaska’s top three locations that they have ever played. They highly recommend that others make the trip here in 2021.

    This recap is written from the perspective of the six Chaska players that attended. These are their top five memories from the day.
