The Telus Cup Central Regional formerly the Air Canada Cup Central Regional is the final qualifying round for the Telus Cup. The tournament presently involves Alliance Hockey, the Eastern, Greater Toronto Hockey League, Great North Midget Hockey League, Ontario East Midget Hockey League, and South-Central Triple A Hockey League. A host team also qualifies for the tournament.
The first tournament was held in 1984 when the then Air Canada Cup was reduced from a twelve team tournament with each branch under Hockey Canada's jurisdiction sending one representative to the tournament to a host team and five regional qualifiers participating in the national championship tournament.
