The second edition of the tournament will welcome 14 men’s teams and 6 women’s teams to compete across three schools in Prince George: Cedars Christian School, Prince George Secondary School and Duchess Park Secondary.

“We’re excited to see this tournament grow, and bring together Indigenous communities, athletes, and fans in celebration and sport,” said Tourism Prince George Interim CEO Carmen Herman.
