Advice on MVC pattern for stats site

I'm building an application that serves statistics for a local sports league.  I'd like to have separate views for the data depending on if the stats are form league games or tournaments or just practice.  Ideally, a user would go to domain.com/tournament/ or /league/ or /practice/ and get directed appropriately.  Since I want to use different layouts, views, etc for each different area but the underlying Models are going to be the same no matter what.  I'm curious what the CakePHP way would be to accomplish this.  My thinking right now is to have separate league, tournament and practice controllers that don't actually tie to models themselves but just serve to encapsulate the different areas of the site.  Does that make sense?  Is there a smarter way to design this?  Gotchas or issues that might arise using controllers that way?

Thanks!
