Canalta Cup Playoffs

Format

The top eight teams in the league standings qualify for the playoffs. All rounds are best-of-seven.

The 2022 Canalta Cup winning team would normally advance to the 2022 Anavet Cup with the Manitoba Junior Hockey League champion for the Western Region spot in the 2022 Centennial Cup which is being held in Estevan, Saskatchewan. However, on March 22nd Hockey Canada announced a revised format for 2022 where all league champions advance to the 2022 Centennial Cup eliminating the need for the 2022 Anavet Cup.
