Over 50 on-ice games and countless NHL 17 match-ups later, the PlayStation Platinum Cup sounded the buzzer on the 2016 tournament. Teams gave fans plenty to cheer about, including a whopping $30,000 players helped raise for Camp Ooch. Due to the donation all teams left as winners, but ultimately only a few could go home with some hardware.
