PrivacyCanadian Junior Hockey 1927 - 28 Memorial Cup
 |
In 1928 Regina was once again represented in the Memorial Cup but this time it was the Monarchs who would compete for the Memorial Cup. The Monarchs were formed from rosters of two junior teams, the Pats and Falcons. In the best of three series that was played in Toronto the Monarchs would take on the Ottawa Gunners. The first two games were split with Regina winning game one 4-3 and the Gunners took the second game of the series by a score of 2-1. In the third and deciding game the Monarchs broke things open winning by a margin of 7-1.
The Memorial Cup was originally known as the OHA Memorial Cup and was donated by the Ontario Hockey Association in March, 1919. Initially the Cup was awarded to the national junior hockey champions of Canada. Later on it came to signify Junior 'A' hockey supremacy when in 1934, junior hockey in Canada was divided into 'A' and 'B' classifications. In 1971, junior 'A' hockey was divided once again to form a major junior and a Tier 'II' level. The Memorial Cup was awarded to the higher category. In 1972, a round-robin tournament format replaced the old play-down system to determine the champions. Since then, the champions of the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), along with a host club, have met each spring in a round-robin series with the two top teams playing off in a sudden-death game to determine the Cup champions. |
