Congratulations are once again in order for Senior hockey’s royal family. The Bentley/Lacombe Generals who, as of today, have been the reigning Allan Cup Champions for 966 days.
Although The Army has a seemingly increasingly realistic expectation to be crowned “The Forever Champions” when Allan Cup is respectfully laid to rest…966 days is still about 610 days longer than the previous record.
That is all.

That is all. Sorry to burst your bubble Wade, but; you were a little premature on this one. The Generals did not become the longest reigning champion until March 23, 2022 as the University of Toronto won the championship on March 25 1925 and won the next two tournaments in 1926 and 1927 and they were then defeated in the OHA Senior Final on March 6, 1928 by the Kitchener Greenshirts making them the champions for 1077 days. And the final ended on March 28th making it 1099 days until a different champion was crowned making it April 16, 2022 the Generals became the longest defending champions.
And the Warroad Lakers held it for 1092 days from April 16, 1994 (winning the 1994 final) to April 12, 1997 (losing the 1997 final) and winning the 1995 and 1996 finals as well.
