I believe this is the 4th or 5th year that tournament has been held at LMU. Its really a fun time to catch some top talent on our campus. Excellent exposure for LMU. It use to be worked by LMU players and other athletic staff but this has changed recently because people complained it was unfair advantage.

The summer tourney has been going on for awhile and is probably due to Husak's longstanding relationship to the pumps, they brought us Tention as well.
It is very popular and its good for LMU.
