A lot of our teams are returning teams from the past few years, which says a lot about the tournament. The city of Penticton has a reputation of being a party town from it's riot days during Peachfest and May long weekend is a great weekend to party in Penticton.
This tournament is the perfect combination of great ball hockey, weather and partying, you can almost guarantee that most teams will walk away having a great weekend and many stories, hence our borrowed slogan:
"WHAT HAPPENS IN PENTICTON, STAYS IN PENTICTON!"
