Canadian Junior Hockey 1924 - 25 Memorial Cup
The 1925 series featured the Regina Pats and Aura Lee in the Toronto Arena Gardens.
Game 1, on March 23, was played before about 3,000 fans, the Regina Pats winning 2-1 on Frank Ingram's goal just 37 seconds into overtime. The Pats won the series on March 25 when they downed Aura Lee 5-2.
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. |
