Canadian Junior Hockey 1929 - 30 Memorial Cup
In Toronto, the Ottawa Rideaus won the first game of the East's two-game, total-goal final, 4-3. The West Toronto Athletic Club won the second game 3-1 on March 23 to take the series by a combined score of 6-5. They were the Eastern Canadian representatives in the Memorial Cup.
In Winnipeg, on March 24, the Regina Pats blanked the Elmwood Millionaires 5-0 to win that two-game, total-goal series 8-0. The Pats scored 14 goals in four games, while blanking the Calgary Canadians and the Millionaires in all four games. The Regina Pats went into the Memorial Cup having posted five straight shutouts.
The Pats won the best of three series in two straight games winning game one 3-1 and game 3-2 to capture their second Memorial Cup. 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. |
