About Hockey Canada, formally
the Canadian Hockey Association (CHA)
Hockey Canada is the
national governing body of ice hockey in the country of
Canada and is also a member of the International Ice
Hockey Federation (IIHF). Formally the Canadian Hockey
Association, H.C. was formed in 1968 by the Government
of Canada to oversee ice hockey operations in Canada and
was responsible for international ice hockey team
selection, but did not govern ice hockey play within the
boundaries of Canada until 1994. At that time the CHA
(then) merged with the Canadian Amateur Hockey
Association (CAHA) in which was formed in 1914 and had
controlled the Allan Cup play. Today Hockey Canada has
13 regional branches across Canada (Hockey NL among
them) and 2 organizations in cooperation with it.

World U17 Ice Hockey
Challenge
(2004 World U17 Ice
Hockey Challenge in Newfoundland & Labrador)
The World Under-17
Hockey Challenge, originally known as the
Quebec Esso Cup, is an international ice hockey
tournament held annually in Canada. Prior to 2011, the
tournament did not operate during years in which the
Canada Winter Games were held. As such, the World
Under-17 Challenge was held three out of every four
years. It is organized by Hockey Canada and is the first
major international competition for male hockey players
under the age of 17. The tournament is the first step in
Hockey Canada's Program of Excellence and is used to
identify players moving on to the U18 and National
Junior Team.
The 2004 World U-17 Hockey
Challenge was an international ice hockey tournament
held in Newfoundland, Canada between December 28th, 2003
to January 4th, 2004. The two main venues were the Mile
One Stadium in St. John's and the Glacier Arena in Mount
Pearl, while the S. W. Moores Arena in Harbour Grace and
the Whitbourne Arena were also used for exhibition
games.
Ten teams participated,
including the United States, Russia, Slovakia, Germany,
Finland and five regional teams representing Canada –
Canada Pacific, Canada West, Canada Quebec, Canada
Ontario and Canada Atlantic. Team Ontario defeated Team
Pacific 5–2 to win the gold medal, while Team Quebec
defeated the United States 3–2 to capture the bronze,
marking the first time in the tournament's history that
Canada swept all three medals.

About the Herder Memorial
Trophy
The Herder Memorial Trophy,
or Herder, is the championship trophy of senior
ice hockey in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador,
Canada. It is the most prestigious hockey championship
solely dedicated to Newfoundland, and as a result, has a
significant following within the province. Today, Herder
games are usually held at Mile One Centre (and before it
was built, at Memorial Stadium) in St. John's and
frequently sell out the 6,000 seat building. Games are
also held in the Pepsi Centre in the city of Corner
Brook.
In 1935, the trophy was
donated by Ralph Herder, who was president of The
Evening Telegram newspaper, in honour of his five hockey
playing brothers. The trophy was to be awarded to
Newfoundland's best ice hockey team. Having been
published by a member of the Herder family since the
founding of the paper in 1879 until the retirement of
Stephen in 1993, has meant that the Telegram has played
an integral role in the promotion and sponsorship of the
Herder, which continues to this day.
Originally donated by Ralph
Herder in memory of his five brothers, it now honours
the memory of eight Herders. The “original five” Herders
were Arthur, William, Douglas, Augustus and Hubert and
they were later joined by brothers Ralph and James. In
2009, Ralph's son Stephen was added in memoriam. The
seven brothers were fine hockey players and often played
together, with four of them sometimes playing together
on championship teams. In fact, James Herder coached the
1935 Guards team that lost the initial Herder
championship to Corner Brook in a two-game, total-goal
series at the Prince’s Rink in St. John’s.
The 1985-86 Herder Trophy
champion Corner Brook Royals didn't stop at the
provincial title alone. After the Herder finals, they
went on to win the Allan Cup, the national 'AAA'
championship trophy of Canadian senior hockey. The
Royals defeated the Stephenville Jets in 6 games to win
the Herder in their quest for the Allan Cup, and then
became Eastern Canadian champions by defeating the
Flamboro Motts Clamatos in a tough, 7-game series to
hoist the G.P. Bolton Cup. In the final, the Royals
downed the Nelson (B.C) Maple Leafs in 4 straight games
to win the Province's first Allan Cup. The following
year, the St. John's Capitals won the Herder, but were
ousted in the Allan Cup semi-final in 6 games by the
Brantford (Ont.) Motts Clamatos, led by the stellar goal
tending of former NHL star Don Edwards. In 2010-11, the
Clarenville Caribous became the second Newfoundland team
to win the Allan Cup, defeating the Bentley Generals
(Alberta) in the finals held in Kenora, BC.
About the Allan Cup
National Senior AAA
The Allan Cup is the
trophy awarded annually to the national senior amateur
men’s ice hockey champions of Canada. It has been
competed for since 1909.
In 1908, a split occurred in
the competition of ice hockey in Canada. The top amateur
teams left the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey
Association, which allowed professionals, to form the
new Inter-Provincial Amateur Hockey Union (IPAHU), a
purely amateur league. The trustees of the Stanley Cup
decided that the Cup would be awarded to the
professional ice champion, meaning there was no
corresponding trophy for the amateur championship of
Canada. The Allan Cup was donated in early 1909 by
Montreal businessman and Montreal Amateur Athletic
Association president Sir H. Montagu Allan to be
presented to the amateur champions of Canada. It was to
be ruled like the Stanley Cup had, passed by champion to
champion by league championship or challenge. Three
trustees were named to administer the trophy: Sir Edward
Clouston, President of the Bank of Montreal, Dr. H. B.
Yates of McGill University, (donor of the Yates Cup to
the Intercollegiate Rugby Union in 1898) and Graham
Drinkwater, four-time Stanley Cup champion.
Since 1984 the Allan Cup has
been competed for by teams in the Senior AAA category.
Although interest in senior ice hockey has diminished
over its history, the Cup retains an important place in
Canadian ice hockey. The Cup championship is determined
in an annual tournament held in the city or town of a
host team, playing off against regional champions.
The Cup has been won by teams
from every province and from the Yukon, as well as by
two teams from the United States which played in
Canadian leagues. The city with the most Allan Cup
championships is Thunder Bay with 10, including four won
as Port Arthur before the city's amalgamation. The
original Cup has been retired to the Hockey Hall of
Fame, and a replica is presented to the champions.

About Newfoundland &
Labrador Senior Hockey
The Central West Senior
Hockey League (CWSHL) is a Senior A level hockey league
with teams based on the Bonavista Peninsula, Central and
Western Regions. It is one of 2 senior hockey leagues in
the province.
The Avalon
East Senior Hockey League (AESHL) is
a Senior A level hockey league
with teams based on the Avalon Peninsula. It is the
second of two senior hockey leagues active in the
province.
On September 20th, 2015 Hockey NL
announced that the CWSHL and AESHL Champions will play a
best of 5 series to determine the Herder Champion
(Herder Finals) beginning in March of 2016.
Clarenville and Grand
Falls-Windsor are registered at the Senior AAA level and
are thus eligible to compete for the Allan Cup. The
Clarenville Caribous are hosting the 2015 Allan Cup and
automatically qualify as host. The Grand Falls-Windsor
Cataracts automatically qualified for the tournament as
Quebec had no teams registered at the Senior AAA level
and traditionally the open spot goes to a team from the
host branch. This also eliminated the need for an
Atlantic region playoff with the New Brunswick based
Lameque Au P'tit Mousse for the region's birth in the
Allan Cup tournament.
The East Coast Senior Hockey
League (ECSHL) replaced the AESHL in the fall of
2017 for the start of the 2017-'18 season. The CeeBee
Stars were accepted back in the AESHL only for the other
4 teams leaving and thus forming the ESCHL, citing
reason that a 4 team league would be most desirable and
Harbour Grace being the least convenient fit for the
league. Again renamed to AESHL for the 2021-'22 Season
The West Coast Senior Hockey
League (WCSHL) was founded in 1996 as a
senior B intermediate league and developed into a senior
A league. It operated until the summer of 2011 when the
WCSHL merged with the Avalon East Senior Hockey League
to form the Newfoundland Senior Hockey League. The
league resurface again for the 2016–2017 season, with
that season being shorten, starting with the 2017–2018
season it has an 18-game season, with teams based out of
Corner Brook, Deer Lake, Stephenville, and Port aux
Basques.

JUNIOR B HOCKEY IN
NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR |
|
About the Veitch Memorial
Trophy
This Veitch Memorial Trophy is
annually awarded to the Newfoundland provincial
championship team in the highest category of junior. It
stands the measure of junior hockey supremacy throughout
Newfoundland and Labrador.
The trophy was first presented
to the Newfoundland Amateur Hockey Association by the
Buchans Social and Athletic Club in 1951 in memory of
three Veitch brothers. Originally, the Trophy remembered
Cyril Veitch, a St. John's native who served on the NAHA
executive, was a great hockey enthusiast and died in
December 1949. Later John Veitch, another Buchans
player, was added to the Trophy and then, the name of
Phillip Veitch, who also played hockey for Buchans, was
also added to the Trophy.
The Veitch Memorial Trophy was
first played for in 1953 in which Grand Falls were
awarded the trophy. The trophy has been up for
competition for 60 years and the championship has been
played 44 times. Teams from the St. John's league have
the majority of Veitch championships with 14 titles.
Grand Falls has won the Trophy seven times, while Gander
has five titles. Bell Island has three championships.
Corner Brook emerged as winners twice, with Buchans,
Deer Lake and Mount Pearl each having one victory.
Interspersed within the history of the Trophy are 14
seasons with "no competition". There was a run of "no
competition" for seven seasons between 1988 and 1994.
2010 marked the
44th year of competition and coincided with Hockey
Newfoundland and Labrador’s 75th Anniversary.
Recently there were two Junior
B hockey leagues in Newfoundland and Labrador that
competed
for the Veitch Memorial Trophy, the St. John’s Junior
Hockey League and the Central West Junior Hockey League.
The champions of both leagues, along with the host and
runner-up of the opposing league enter into tournament
play for the Veitch Memorial Trophy. There has not been
a tournament held since the CWJHL folded in 2013. |
About the St. John's
Junior Hockey League
Founded in 1980, the SJJHL
competed as a Junior "A" league from 1989 until 1991. In
that time period, they were eligible for the Centennial
Cup Canadian National championship of Junior "A" hockey.
Every other year the SJJHL has operated at the Junior
"B" level and its champion represents the league in the
Veitch Memorial Cup playdowns against the winner of the
Central/West Junior Hockey League for the right to play
at the Don Johnson Cup.
In the 1970s, there was
another league known as the St. John's Junior Hockey
League. Much like the Corner Brook League, Southern
Shore League, amongst other leagues, the old SJJHL was a
junior-aged town league. Although the St. John's Jr.
Capitals were a top team in this town league, they would
represent St. John's for the Veitch Memorial Trophy as
an all-star team of players from the old SJJHL. On one
such occasion, in 1972, the Jr. Capitals entered into
the first-year Newfoundland Jr. A play-downs, only to
win and compete in the 1972 Centennial Cup National
Play-downs.
As of this current time, the SJJHL
is the only Junior B league in the province and thus no
playoff for the Veitch Memorial. Both SJJHL finalists
now receive berths into the Don Johnson Memorial Cup
Tournament.

About the Don Johnson
Memorial Cup
The Don Johnson Cup
is the Junior "B" ice hockey championship for the
Atlantic Provinces of Canada -- Nova Scotia,
Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island.
The cup is named in
honour of Don Johnson, a sports enthusiast who dedicated
his efforts to the growth of hockey in Atlantic Canada.
In the 1980s,
Newfoundland and Labrador teams dominated the early
tournaments. NL teams won 5 of the first 7 Don Johnson
Cups. In 1990, the tournament was retired, only to be
resurrected a few years later.
Since 2002, the Don
Johnson Cup has been dominated by teams from Nova
Scotia. From 2003 until 2008, the teams of the NSJHL
have won 6 consecutive Atlantic titles. The streak was
broken in 2009 as St. John's of Newfoundland and
Labrador eliminated all hopes of a seventh straight Nova
Scotia crown. Going into the semi-final round of the Don
Johnson Cup, the three NL teams present were 0-6 against
PEI's Sherwood Falcons and NS's Cumberland County Cool
Blues. In the semi-final, the third seeded St. John's
Caps of the St. John's Junior Hockey League upset the
second seeded Cumberland County 6-5. The Caps advanced
to the final to play the Falcons and upset them 3-2 in
overtime to win Newfoundland and Labrador's first
Atlantic Jr. B championship in 21 years.
With the passing of Don
Johnson,
starting with the 2013 tournament, the trophy was
renamed the "Don Johnson Memorial Cup".
Beginning
in 2014 the Don Johnson Memorial Cup is presented to the
Eastern Canada's Junior B Champions.

About the Central-West
Junior Hockey League
The
Exploits Home Hardware Central West Junior Hockey League
is a high-calibre amateur Junior C league made up of
four teams in Newfoundland and Labrador. Inaugurating in
2004, the league has provided fans across the province
with high calibre, fast paced hockey. Each year the
Central Cataracts, Corner Brook Royals, Stephenville
Jets and Port aux Basques Mariners battle through an
18-game regular season to determine the playoff
match-ups.
The
playoffs consist of the semi-finals, best three of five,
with the 1st place of the regular season playing the 4th
place and the 2nd place playing 3rd place. The winners
of the semis face each other in the best of seven series
for the Central West Junior Hockey League Championship,
the Exploits Home Hardware Cup.
The winner
then advances to the Veitch Memorial Championship. This
three team tournament brings together the Exploits Home
Hardware Central West Junior Hockey League champion,
winner of the St. John’s Junior Hockey League and the
host association to award Newfoundland and Labrador’s
top junior hockey honour – the Veitch Memorial Cup. The
crowned provincial champion then represents Newfoundland
and Labrador at the Atlantic Championships, the Don
Johnson Cup.
The CWJHL
is run by a volunteer executive, which consists of the
President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer, as
well as representatives from each of the four teams.
After the
2012-'13 Hockey Season, the CWJHL folded and thus
leaving Newfoundland with just the St. John's Junior
Hockey League.

IIHF Men's U20 World
Ice Hockey Championships
(World Junior Hockey
Championships)
The World U20 Championships
(Top Division) is a international ice hockey event
that is sanctioned by the IIHF and is traditionally held
from late December to early January for national
Under-20 teams around the world. The tournament
comprises of the world's top 10 ranked teams and from
them a world champion is determined. There are also
three lower pools—divisions I, II and III—that each play
separate tournaments playing for the right to be
promoted to a higher pool,
or face relegation to a
lower pool.
The very first official
tournament was held in 1976-'77 in Czechoslovakia. The
top 3 teams finish with a medal with Gold being claimed
by the winner of the gold medal while silver is claimed
by the loser, finally the bronze being won by the team
winning the bronze medal game.
Tournament Format
The 10 teams are divided into
two, five-team groups in the Preliminary Round.
After a single round-robin
series in each group, the top four teams from each group
advance to the Playoff Round while the fifth-placed team in
each group moves to the Relegation Round.
The top four placed teams from
the Preliminary will play a cross-over Quarterfinal game: 1A
vs. 4B, 1B vs. 4A, 2A vs. 3B and 2B vs. 3A. The winner of
each Quarterfinal moves onto the Semi-Finals.
In the semi-finals the
best-ranked team - criteria: 1) placement in the group, 2)
points in the preliminary round, 3) goal difference in the
preliminary round, 4) goals scored in the preliminary round,
5) seeding coming into the tournament - will play against
the lowest-ranked semi-finalist. The 2nd-best ranked
semi-finalist will play the 3rd-best ranked semi-finalist.
The host if qualified, or otherwise the best-ranked
semi-finalist according to beforementioned criteria, shall
play the early game. The time slots will officially be
determined after the quarter-final games.
The winner of each Semi-Final
game will move onto the Gold Medal Game, while the losers
will play in the Bronze Medal Game.
The quarter-final losers will
be ranked 5th to 8th according to 1. their position in the
group, 2. their preliminary-round record (1. points, 2. goal
difference, 3. goals scored).
Relegation format
The two last-placed teams play
a best-of-three Relegation Round series. The third game is
only played if needed. The winner of the series plays again
at the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship, while loser is
relegated to Division I Group A.
Three Point System
For all games points shall be
awarded as follows:
-
3 points for the winning
team at the conclusion of regulation time
-
1 point for both teams at the
conclusion of regulation time if the game is tied
-
An additional point earned for the
team winning the game in a 5-minute overtime period, or
the Penalty-Shot Shootout if the teams are still tied
following conclusion of the overtime period
-
0 points for the
team losing the game in regulation time

The Spengler Cup, Davos
(Hockey Canada, Swiss
National League A, Swiss Ice Hockey Association)
About
The Spengler Cup is an annual
ice hockey tournament held in Davos, Switzerland. First
held in 1923, the Spengler Cup is often cited as the
oldest invitational ice hockey tournament in the world.
The event is hosted by the Swiss team HC Davos and
played each year in Davos, Switzerland, between
Christmas (December 25) and New Year's Day. All games
are held at Vaillant Arena.
It was
originally devised by Dr. Carl Spengler as a means to
promote teams from German-speaking Europe, who might
have suffered ostracism in the aftermath of World War I.
Eventually, the tournament grew well beyond
expectations. Many of Europe's most prestigious clubs
and national programs have appeared, including Soviet,
Swedish and Czechoslovak powerhouses.
Among
non-European organizations, Team Canada, Team USA,
nationally ranked NCAA schools, reigning Calder Cup and
Ontario Hockey Association champions, and even Team
Japan (in 1971 as hosts of the upcoming Sapporo Winter
Olympics) have traveled to Davos through the years.
The
Spengler Cup is broadcast on Schweizer Fernsehen in
Switzerland, on Eurosport 2 in most of Europe, on RTR
Sport in Russia, on Nova Sport in the Czech Republic and
on TSN in Canada.
History
The Cup was first awarded in
1923 to the Oxford University Ice Hockey Club, composed
of Canadian students.[1] The tournament was then
dominated by Czechoslovak and Soviet teams between 1965
and 1983. In 1984 Team Canada began participating and
has since won the Cup twelve times. Team Canada is
predominantly made up of Canadians playing in Europe, as
well as American Hockey League prospects. Notable free
agents (like veteran goaltender Curtis Joseph) or
coaches without an NHL contract have also used the
Spengler Cup to keep their name around.
From
its inception until 1978, the tournament was played on
an outdoor rink. The outdoor rink still exists outside
the indoor arena, and is one of the largest outdoor
rinks in the world. Starting in 1978, all tournament
games have been played indoors. In 1956, the
championship trophy was given its classic and best-known
look (pictured left), which stood until a new gold
design was unveiled in 2010.
