Games take place between Saturday, August 14 through Monday August 16 from approximately 9 am until 3:30 pm at Carleton University’s Ravens Field (Keith Harris Stadium) and Raven Road Field.

The U15 features an East division represented by P.E.I., Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario while the Western division features British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The U18 division is represented by three female teams; Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia while the Men’s division features Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Ontario.
