The Portage Terriers and city of Portage la Prairie were named host for 2023 tournament after the cancellation of the 2020 Centennial Cup at the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. Portage la Prairie was also host to the 2015 championship (then known as the RBC Cup), which was won by the Terriers. Tim Hortons, the title sponsor of the national junior 'A' championship, withdrew its sponsorship for the 2023 season in response to the Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal.
