The Alberta Roughnecks and the Portland Pounders added another title to their trophy cabinets at the 2023 Vancouver Invitational.

In Division 1, tournament MVP and international superstar Zak Madell teamed up with American Josh Wheeler to power the Roughnecks to their first D1 VI title.

The Roughnecks went a perfect 5-0 and weathered a tough match from Ontario to prevail 50-48.

In Division 2, the Portland Pounders won their ninth Vancouver Invitational. Tournament MVP Justin Beavers proved too tough for any team to slow down as the Pounders won each match by at least 10 points.

Hometown favorites BC2 improved greatly from pool play to the final, turning an earlier 30-point blowout into a far more respectable 10-point score as Josh Holton and Julia Hanes earned all-tournament honors.
