The tournament was started last year by Tom Fox to honor Doc Miller, a man who was very active in minor sports in Clinton for many years.

Aside from Clinton's Pee Wee team they will come from Leamington, Flesherton, Walkerton, St. Marys, Dashwood, I,ucan and Exeter.

The trophies this year will be donated by Fleming Feed Mill, with one going to the champions and one to the consolation champs.
