Summerside hosted the Canadian junior A hockey championship tournament in 1989, 1997 and 2013.
"The Centennial Cup is one of the most sought-after national events in the country and our city has been blessed to successfully host it on three occasions," Mayor Basil Stewart said in a media release.
It's estimated the event could generate about $3 million for the local tourism industry, Basil said in the release.
The 2023 tournament is set for May 13-21.
