Jim Flynn has been organizing this tournament since the beginning and said teams are always excited to come here.

“We had teams from our province and a lot of good comments from them and some of them even won their different divisions,” he said. “Even the older ones that come every year said that they always come because of the way the tournament runs and they know that they get lots of games.”

Now that this year’s event has wrapped up, Flynn said they will soon get going on the 2024 edition.

“We’ll take a little bit of a break and get everything finalized and see how successful we were at the end of the tournament. Then we’ll be starting in February, March, we start our new planning for the for the next year.”

The 2024 Foxes Tournament is scheduled from Jan. 3-5.
