First hosted in 2003, the tournament celebrated its 20-year anniversary in 2023 and is one of the longest running youth tournaments in the country. The tournament serves as qualification for the ENGEN Champ of Champs where the winners of the nine provincial titles battle it out to be crowned Champ of Champs.
