Western Canada, Dudley-Hewitt & Fred Page Cups just days away
CALGARY, Alta. (Tuesday, April 25, 2017) – The Canadian Junior Hockey League announced Tuesday the game schedules for its three upcoming regional championships; the Sunlife Financial Western Canada Cup, the Dudley-Hewitt Cup (Central Canada) and the Fred Page Cup (Eastern Canada).
All but one competing team has yet to be determined among the three events.
The Maritime Hockey League final between the Miramichi Timberwolves and Truro Bearcats heads into Game 6 Wednesday in Truro with the Timberwolves holding a 3-2 series lead in the best-of-seven.
If required, Game 7 would go Friday in Miramichi.
The MHL champion will then advance to the Fred Page Cup, May 3-7, in Terrebonne, Que.
They’ll be joined by the Coupe NAPA titleist Cobras de Terrebonne (LHJAAAQ) and finalist Collège Français de Longueuil (LHJAAAQ) as well as the Carleton Place Canadians (CCHL), who claimed their fourth consecutive Bogart Cup crown.
One of the other two remaining league finals will see the Chilliwack Chiefs and Penticton Vees decide the BCHL title tonight with Game 7 going in Chilliwack.
As the Vees are hosting the Western Canada Cup, both clubs had earlier secured berths in the five-team event, which gets underway Saturday and runs through May 7.
Also having punched their ticket to the WCC are the Portage Terriers (MJHL), Battlefords North Stars (SJHL) and Brooks Bandits (AJHL) who all won their respective league titles.
The third CJHL league final still going features the Georgetown Raiders and Trenton Golden Hawks as they gear up to decide the OJHL’s champion Wednesday with Game 7 in Georgetown.
Trenton is serving as host of the Dudley-Hewitt Cup, the Raiders are also confirmed as the second OJHL representative at the four-team tournament that goes May 2-6 at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Community Gardens.
The Powassan Voodoos (NOJHL) and Dryden GM Ice Dogs (SIJHL) claimed their league crowns and will join the Raiders and Golden Hawks in Trenton.
