Last year's tournament was remarkably successful, with the same five teams and Team World competing head-to-head from August 26-31. The United States earned the gold medal after defeating Canada 7-1, thanks to a four-goal performance by Kelsey DiClaudio, who was also named Tournament MVP.
This tournament marks another important step toward consideration for the Alpes 2030 Paralympic Winter Games.
