2014-15 Canadian Senior Season

This is the 2014-15 Canadian Senior Hockey season.

2015 Senior "AAA" Hockey/Allan Cup Qualifying
There were 18 teams that are registered for the Senior "AAA" level in Canada and are thus eligible to compete for the Allan Cup.

Only two leagues are entirely made up of teams that are Senior "AAA":
 * 2014-15 Allan Cup Hockey Season (five teams)
 * 2014-15 Chinook Hockey League Season (five teams)

Both league champions were supposed to advance to regional qualifying for a berth in the 2015 Allan Cup. But due to no other teams being involved in Pacific Region qualifying for the Allan Cup the Chinook Hockey League playoff champion advances to the 2015 Allan Cup.

Newfoundland and Labrador
The Clarenville Caribous qualified for the 2015 Allan Cup as host team.

The Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts advance as provincial representative due to winning the 2014 Herder Memorial Trophy champions, But due to no representative being entered from Quebec (East Region) that spot would be awarded to the host branch and make it so they qualified for the 2015 Allan Cup.

New Brunswick
The Lameque Au Ptit Mousse were the only team registered in New Brunswick and there were no other entries from Atlantic Canada except for the two Newfoundland and Labrador teams that already qualified for the tournament thus the Lameque Au Ptit Mousse qualify for the 2015 Allan Cup as the Atlantic Region representative.
