In 1919 the Ontario Hockey Association donated the Memorial Cup, to be awarded to the Dominion's junior champions, to honour the young men and women from Canada who paid the supreme sacrifice for their country in World War I. On March 10, 1919 the Regina Patricias eliminated the Winnipeg Lutherans in in the Western Canadian final for the Abbott Memorial Cup The Patricias won the two-game, total-goal series with Winnipeg 8-5. The University of Toronto Schools, won the Eastern Canadian championship, defeating the Montreal Melvilles 8-2 in a sudden-death game on March 17. The 1919 Memorial Cup was a two-game, total-goal affair, scheduled for Toronto, with games on March 19 and 22 at Arena Gardens. Toronto opened with a 14-3 victory and on March 22 Toronto posted a 15-5 victory to win the series by a combined score of 29-8. 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.
