The first tournament took place in Quebec since the 2020 Quebec Provincials and what a welcome return at that. Though small in numbers, the turnout was still quite good as clubs from Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa came to compete at the 2021 Concordia Invitational.

Held under specific conditions, the tournament ran very smoothly, with some good matches on display. The Quebec clubs in attendance were Concordia University, The Montreal Wrestling Club, Quebec, Thailand Wrestling Club, Tritton Top Team and Vanier College.
