This is the 1957-58 Maritimes Senior Playoffs.
Background[]
In the previous season the Maritimes Amateur Hockey Association (MAHA) had decided to pass on the Allan Cup playoffs. This year they gave their senior teams and leagues the option of competing for an Allan Cup playoffs spot and the regional championship or just the regional championship. If they competed for the Allan Cup playoff spot the teams would have to finish their season earlier to meet national deadlines.
The Maritimes Armed Forces League opted for the Allan Cup competition as did the independent teams New Glasgow Rangers and Halifax Wolverines.
The Maritimes Senior League was formed in November with the Amherst Ramblers, Charlottetown Royals, Summerside Aces, and Mount Allison University (which only played part-time). The intention was that the league would finish play at the end of February after which its playoff champion would enter these playoffs.
However when the MAHA announced its policy in January Amherst and Summerside said that they wanted to play for the Allan Cup. League play then ended on February 1st and Charlottetown was left out in the cold. The Royals were allowed to play in the Maritimes playoffs in March.
After Summerside was beaten by Amherst a playoff was arranged with Charlottetown for the championship of Prince Edward Island.
