The tournament will be a four-team round-robin format and is the first step in Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence for players.

This year will mark the eighth year of the event, formerly known as the Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup. The first ever WHL Cup was held in Blackfalds in 2009 and featured four of the top eight players selected in the 2012 NHL Draft.

The WHL Cup is made possible through financial support provided by the WHL, Hockey Manitoba, BC Hockey, Hockey Alberta, Saskatchewan Hockey Association and Hockey Canada.
