This year’s installment will see 14 teams in the men’s division competing for a title, while the PAGC Lady Chiefs will battle with Team Woodland in the first ever women’s division in a best-of-three series.

“Hockey is deeply rooted in our communities—it’s a part of who we are,” said PAGC Grand Chief Brian Hardlotte. “The Battle of the Nations is more than just a tournament. It’s a gathering of nations, families, and fans who share a love for the game.”
