The tournament begins Friday at 4:45 p.m. with the Nelson Junior Leafs up against the Spokane Junior Raptors.
Five games are on tap for day one before the tourney really gets into full gear with no less than 15 games set for Saturday.
Sunday concludes the action with the first game starting at 8 a.m.
Each team plays three games with no results being kept, instead just a whole lot of fun and enjoyment.
