Inaugurated in 2003 , the tournament was envisioned as tune - up for the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships . The first series was won by the CHL five games to one in a series of blowout victories for the home squads . Following the tournament , the Russians were criticized for bringing over a team that was uncompetitive , as the Russian team kept many of its top junior players at home . 2004 ADT Canada - Russia Challenge . Prior to the second tournament , the Russians vowed to avenge their lopsided defeats in 2003 . They started off well , defeating the QMJHL in both games by identical 4 - 3 scores , both via shoot - out . However , the Russians were once again unable to compete with either the OHL or WHL , losing the overall series four games to two . 2005 ADT Canada - Russia Challenge . The third challenge series saw the CHL dominate the series six games to zero as a travel weary Russian squad found itself consistently overmatched by its Canadian counterparts . 2006 ADT Canada - Russia Challenge . In the first game , the QMJHL cruised to an easy 6 - 2 victory . The Q followed that up with a 4 - 3 victory .

The OHL continued the CHL ' s dominance with an easy 5 - 0 victory in the third game . The fourth game was a much more spirited affair , and while the OHL came out on top for the CHL ' s fourth consecutive victory , the Russians made a game of it in a close 4 - 3 final . The game was marred by two ugly incidents late , as both the OHL ' s Chris Stewart and Russia ' s Andrey Lange were assessed match penalties in the final minute of the game .
