Canadian Junior Hockey 1921 - 22 Memorial Cup
In the Western final for the Abbott Cup the Regina Patricias lost the opener of the two-game, total-goal series 4-1 to the University of Manitoba. Two nights later, on March 18 the Patricias tied the series. They led 3-0 after three periods and then struck for two overtime goals to win the series 6-4.
In the Eastern final the Fort William War Veterans beat the Toronto-based Aura Lees in a two-game, total-goal series.
The 1922 Memorial Cup final was the first to be played outside of Toronto at Shea's Amphitheater in Winnipeg, the only artificial ice surface between Toronto and Vancouver. The Memorial Cup was a two game total goal series between the Fort William War Veterans and the Regina Patricia. The first game was played on March 20 and the War Vets trailed 4-3 going into the third period but rallied back scoring two unanswered goals en route to a 5-4 win. In the second game, played two days later, the Pats and the War Vets battled to a 3-3 tie giving Fort William the Memorial Cup. The Memorial Cup was originally known as the OHA Memorial Cup and was donated by the Ontario Hockey Association in March, 1919. Initially the Cup was awarded to the national junior hockey champions of Canada. Later on it came to signify Junior 'A' hockey supremacy when in 1934, junior hockey in Canada was divided into 'A' and 'B' classifications. In 1971, junior 'A' hockey was divided once again to form a major junior and a Tier 'II' level. The Memorial Cup was awarded to the higher category. In 1972, a round-robin tournament format replaced the old play-down system to determine the champions. Since then, the champions of the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), along with a host club, have met each spring in a round-robin series with the two top teams playing off in a sudden-death game to determine the Cup champions. |
