About the Central Canada Cup
The Central Canada Cup started as the Keystone Cup, which is the Junior B ice hockey championship and trophy for Western Canada. From 1983 to 2017, the championship was the culmination of the champions of 12 hockey leagues in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Northwestern Ontario. In 2018, citing costs for travel and accommodations, British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan withdrew from competition for the Keystone Cup, making it a championship between Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario.
In 2023, the Keystone Cup was re branded as the Central Canada Cup and was hosted in Thunder Bay, Ontario by the Lakehead Junior Hockey League. The event was attended by two teams of the LJHL and two team of the KJHL. It will be hosted in 2024 in Flin Flon, Manitoba by the Keystone Junior Hockey League and will host teams from the KJHL, LJHL, PJHL, NEAJBHL and the host PBCN Selects.
