Kenora is a city of about 15,000 people in northwestern Ontario, Canada. It is located close to the Manitoba border. For that reason this city has sometimes entered teams in the Manitoba Amateur Hockey Association as well as the Thunder Bay Amateur Hockey Association.
It was originally called Rat Portage until 1904. Kenora was amalgamated with the towns of Keewatin and Jaffray Melick in 2000.
Kenora is smallest city to have ever won the Stanley Cup (in 1907).
Kenora hosted the 2011 Allan Cup
