The prize pool is a tad different this year with winners of the Men’s tournament taking home $30,000, while second place grants a $10,000 prize and third place gets $8,000. Meanwhile in the Women’s bracket, the winners will collect $10,000, second place gets $3,000 and third place receives $2,000.

Play began Friday afternoon at the Art Hauser Centre, with the puck dropping in the first game at 12:15 p.m. between the Round Lake Bears and Cumberland Cree. In a twist this year, some games will also be played at the newly opened Lake Country Leisure Centre in The Yard District. However, all games on Sunday will be played at the Art Hauser Centre with the gold medal game set for 7 p.m.
