The tournament was first held in 1978 and was usually played on the final two days of December every year until 1988.[1] Since then it was played infrequently (though with no more than a two-year gap between events) until 2008 when it returned to an annual schedule which it continues to possess.[2] In 2002 the holiday tournament changed its name from 'Auld Lang Syne' to 'Ledyard Bank' due to sponsorship.

Since 2016 the schedule was set before the event, eliminating a traditional championship game.
