Since the tournaments inception in 2007 the Hitmen have gone on to win the 2008 & 2009 EJHL spring classics, 2007 EJHL summer classic, the 2008 & 2009 EJHL southern conference, 2008 EJHL league championship, and the 2008 & 2009 Gary Dineen Cup (EJHL playoff champions).
 
Hitmen Empire associate head coach, Mark Lotito, was behind the bench for the Hitmen victory and was very excited with the team's effort this weekend. "I am really proud at the way each and every one of these guys competed this weekend," commented coach Lotito. "There was great camaraderie amongst the forward lines, as each line chipped in offensively each day, and the defensive pairings really worked well together." Lotito went on to say, "our goaltending was fabulous and it was a pleasure coaching these guys. I really had a lot of fun this weekend."
