The McAdams Cup was initiated in 1994 as the women's equivalent to the J. F. Kennedy Cup. The intent is to bring out the best of the women's teams from Oregon, Washington and British Columbia and as such was the forerunner of the present Pacific Coast Soccer League (PCSL) Women's Premier Division. Kevin was the son of Len & Yvonne McAdams who died tragically in an accident at the age of 16 and is lovingly remembered by his parents as an avid soccer player.
Along with Whitecaps FC, the tournament consisted of 2012 PCSL regular season winners Fraser Valley Action, Washington state champs Whatcom Soccer Academy Rapids, and Oregon state champs Tualatin Hills United.
