Participating Teams[]
Both British Columbia (three) and Alberta (five) have multiple leagues at the Junior B level, so their champions and a host team meet for the provincial championship and a berth in the Keystone Cup. The Keystone Junior Hockey League (Manitoba), Prairie Junior Hockey League (Saskatchewan), and the Thunder Bay Junior B Hockey League (Northwestern Ontario) are the only Junior B leagues in their region/province so their playoff champion directly advances to the Keystone Cup
