I would just like to point out that the 'golden years for senior hockey were back in the 60s, 70s and 80s. The quality of play was equal to at least the old ECHL or Central League, and it was a much better brand of hockey tgsn east we see today. Far more physical, as well.
Those days, teams played down through provincial and regional series, ultimately resulting in east vs west in a best of 7. It was truly a war of attrition. For example, when the Cambridge Hornets won in 1983, they had to best Petrolia (after Chatham) in-league, then host Thunder Bay just to get out of ON, then travel to Stephensville Nfld, and then come home to host St. Boniface in the AC Finals...ALL after playing a 30-plus game regular season.
This does not make that Cambridge team special, except to those of us who supported or played for them, but simply serves to illustrate what a truly glorious grind winning championship really was...
Sigh...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but back in those years, companies would sponsor teams and bring those guys in to work during the week and then have them play on the weekends. Sort of bragging rights for the companies too. I know this for sure about NFLD teams.

Maybe I missed it, but does any one know where to find the stream or if this will be televised at all?

It's nice to see HC is really pushing the Allan Cup.... can't find news anywhere on it let alone an official schedule.
Do we have any concrete streaming links yet?

I was under the impression that Dundas and their crew pushed to make it happen, but HC was still involved in some capacity. My mistake then.
Shame either way.
Hopefully, things will get straightened out for next year to be a bigger beast, but I'm not holding my breath.

www.innisfaileagles.comBeen hosting streams there. (We also had the Stony games there too). It's just my phone and a headset we bought this morning, but we are able to pull off a stream with the City of Hamilton's decent wifi. You're welcome. Maybe if y'all got off the facebookz for awhile you'd see the sunny skies of the 'other internet' hahaha ~Rexy

With only 4 teams this year and apparently very little interest from most senior hockey teams across the country, would it be fair to say that this is a very much watered down Allan Cup compared to the past? The fact that a comparatively weak Clarenville team is 2-0 seems to indicate this is not the high level event it once was.

OHA sanctioned the event. Because it’s association policy for all on ice officials to only officiate sanctioned events, so, OHA granted permission for this and insurance coverage to happen for the players. That’s about the extent of it
