In the finals, the largest Antillean Island defeated Mexico 10 goals to 1, finishing the tournament undefeated.

Previously, Cuba had defeated the Netherlands Antilles (14-0), Puerto Rico (11-0) and the Dominican Republic (22-0), as well as the United States (2-1), the latter was Cuba's toughest rival.

Cuban hockey officials highlighted the importance of the Cuban team's participation in major international competitions a few weeks before the Pan-American Games.

They also pointed out that the tournament allowed the Cuban team to adjust to the Dominican climate and put some variants into practice, all of which will be taken into consideration when choosing the members of the team that will compete in the Pan-American Games.
