Why did I just see that this tournament is on January 25th?

Is it the 25th or the 1st? I've seen two different dates

The SCBM 2014 Silver Lake Ice Derby is cancelled due to unsafe conditions. Test holes in the ice yesterday afternoon revealed an ice thickness of only 3-3.5 inches.
Hopefully conditions will be more cooperative next year. Thanks.
