Tournament story


Originally, the goal of the organizers was to offer young French hockey players a big end-of-season party, as was the case with the 1989 Senior Seniors Trophy.
The 3 vs 3 hockey format was chosen for the first edition of the tournament in 1991 and proved to be perfectly adapted to youngest children, a smaller playing area (divided ice rink) allowing young hockey players to better highlight their technical qualities. . This formula has the advantage on the other hand to offer a real show. 3 meetings taking place simultaneously, the events of joy are permanent and provide a real party atmosphere around the rinks for the duration of the tournament.

  • The U9 (players borned between 2009 and 2011) play in Briançon.
