Bolton Cup

The Bolton Cup was awarded to the Eastern Canadian Champion of the Allan Cup playdowns until 2003.

After the 2003 Allan Cup the qualifying set up was changed. Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada were each given their own qualifying spots. Quebec and Ontario already had provincial championships set up and the Bolton Cup was retired.
