Western Canada Cup 2013-2017
Western Canada Cup 2013-2017
The Western Canada Cup was the Junior A ice hockey championship for western Canada from 2013 to 2017. The annual five-team event consisted of the host team and the champions from the four western leagues (Alberta Junior Hockey League, British Columbia Hockey League, Manitoba Junior Hockey League, and Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League), and was used to determine the two Western seeds for the Royal Bank Cup, the National Junior A Championship. In 2011, the four western leagues proposed to Hockey Canada and the Canadian Junior Hockey League that the Doyle Cup and Anavet Cup be discontinued in favour of a new tournament named the Western Canada Cup. Hockey Canada announced the tournament's creation in January 2012. Following the 2017 tournament, Hockey Canada scrapped the Western Canada Cup format and re-instated the Anavet and Doyle Cups for the 2017-18 season. |
