Revision as of 11:55, 24 September 2018

The Atlantic Cup is used as the Atlantic Canada Senior Championship/Qualifier from the realignment of Allan Cup qualifying after the 2002-03 playing season.

Previous qualifying

A previous award had been the Starr Shield which was last used in 1948 as a Maritimes Senior Championship trophy.

The Maritime Amateur Hockey Association discontinued the Maritimes Senior Playoffs after the 1965-66 season. The MAHA began to fall apart when New Brunswick broke away to form the New Brunswick Amateur Hockey Association, now known as Hockey New Brunswick. The MAHA continued until at least 1974, the year the Hockey PEI broke away.

During the interim period teams from the Atlantic Canada region had participated in the Eastern Canada Allan Cup playoffs. as either provincial champions or Independent teams when there were no leagues in the province.

Due to a decline in senior hockey in the region the event has not been needed very often.
