The Maison du Père has been supporting homeless men aged 25 and over for the past 50 years.

The goal of the tournament is to eliminate preconceived ideas about homelessness, while creating connections between all those involved.

The games were held on the Esplanade Tranquille on Clark Street in downtown Montreal.
