Keystone Cup Winners - Western Jr B Championship

Keystone Cup Winners - Western Jr B Championship

The Keystone Cup is the Junior “B” ice hockey championship and trophy for Western Canada. The Championship is the culmination of the champions of leagues in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Northwestern Ontario.

The Keystone Cup got its name from the Keystone Centre in Brandon, Manitoba. The original tournament took place in 1983 in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba and was won by the Selkirk Fisherman of the Keystone Junior Hockey League. The alternate arena at the tournament was the Keystone Centre and the trophy awarded to the championship was nicknamed after it.

The championship is determined through a round robin of the winner of the Cyclone Taylor Cup in British Columbia, the Alberta Provincial Junior B Hockey Championship, the Saskatchewan Provincial Junior B Hockey Championship, the Keystone Junior Hockey League, and the Thunder Bay Junior B Hockey League. In previous years, the winner of the Keystone Jr. B League would have had to go through the Manitoba Provincial Junior B Hockey Championship, but in 2004 their only competition, the Northwest Junior Hockey League, folded. The same thing happened in Northwestern Ontario and also Saskatchewan.
