2022 Herder Memorial Trophy

This is what was hoped to be the 2022 edition of the Herder Memorial Trophy tournament for the Newfoundland and Labrador Senior championship.

Due to several circumstances, the event wasn't held. First, the COVID-19 pandemic had caused restrictions to be put in place that would have made playing a complete season tough to begin with and in late December the province had entered a restricted phase in terms of social gathering due to an spike across eastern Canada of the omicron variant of COVID-19. The Newfoundland West Coast Senior Hockey League is not playing this year, the Central/West Senior Hockey League is not playing this year. The Central Newfoundland Hockey League, which is classified as intermediate did not come to an agreement (which would have been a long shot anyway due to the league being intermediate) with the Avalon East Senior Hockey League and Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador to stage the event for the season. HNL traditionally will not award the Herder if only a single league is playing unless it is a province wide league.
