Revision as of 08:54, 27 October 2021
This is the 2021-22 Canadian Senior Hockey season.
Note: Due to the passing of Doug Mathieson on December 31, 2020 information on Allan Cup qualifying is not as readily available as it used to be. Doug maintained the allancup.ca website and chat board as well as being at every Allan Cup tournament dating back to at least the year 2000.
2022 Allan Cup Qualifying
The format itself and the host for the 2022 Allan Cup has not been announced. The 2020 Allan Cup was scheduled to take place in Hamilton and Dundas, Ontario. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic the event was cancelled along with the rest of activity under the sanctioning of Hockey Canada on March 12, 2020. By the time the 2021 Allan Cup was cancelled apparently Dundas, Ontario had been named host, as that community was listed as one of the four host cities affected by the cancellation of the Centennial Cup, Allan Cup, Telus Cup and Esso Cup.[1]
Atlantic Region
Each of the four provinces would hold its' own provincial tournament or have a qualifying method determined for the year. Newfoundland and Labrador as well as New Brunswick would have one representative based upon playoffs the previous playing season such as the defending Herder Memorial Trophy champion representing the province the following year in Allan Cup qualifying and New Brunswick had the defending champion of the best league in the province represent the province in Allan Cup qualifying.
New Brunswick
No teams have announced that they will be attempting to qualify for the 2022 Allan Cup.
Newfoundland and Labrador
Senior level ice hockey on the island of Newfoundland was in turmoil since 2017-18. The winner of the 2021 Herder Memorial Trophy would have the right to compete for the 2022 Allan Cup however, the 2020 Herder was cancelled due to disagreements over the organization of senior hockey within the province. Based on the past few years it is highly unlikely any teams will attempt to compete for the Allan Cup this season. No leagues even made it to the were planning to play stage for 2020-21.
Nova Scotia
No teams have yet announced that they would be attempting to qualify for the 2022 Allan Cup

The Quebec region has not had any teams commit to the Senior AAA level and attempt to compete for the Allan Cup since 2008. The Outaouais Senior A Hockey League began play with the 2018-19 season. The league has stated it would like to compete for the Allan Cup within the first couple of years and eventually host the tournament sometime in the not to distant future. The Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey is a semi-professional league and its teams are ineligible for Allan Cup play. No teams have announced that they would participate in Allan Cup qualifying.
Ontario (Central Region)
If teams were registered in each of the 3 governing regions in the province; Ontario would have the two Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) associations (Hockey Eastern Ontario (HEO) and Ontario Hockey Association (OHA)) meet for the OHF championship then the winner would play the Hockey Northwestern Ontario representative for the Renwick Cup and the region's berth in the Allan Cup tournament.
