ATHLETIC TEAMS
Erie is a sports town, and being so close to three major metropolitan cities, many athletic teams come to Erie for tournaments and general sporting events. The Erie Sports Commission organizes many events in the area, from Division 1 hockey to gymnastic showcases to billiard and bowling tournaments, Erie plays host to a variety of athletic events. With the Erie Sports Bank Parks recent renovation and installation of two full size hockey rinks, Erie just put herself on the map for many more hockey tournaments.
