The Bolton Cup was the one that was retired (as being the Eastern Canada Champion) when they went from the old format to the new one with Quebec, Ontario, and the Atlantic Region getting a spot in the six team tournament.

Herder or is that the NFLD trophy? The Herder is the Newfoundland championship. I just sent an email to the Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts to try to get an answer since they are the present holders of the trophy.

Is there any formal name for either the event or a trophy awarded for winning the Atlantic Regional or Quebec Regional qualifier for the Allan Cup? Come to think of it how about Quebec? I know the other regions have named trophies but I have never heard of a name for either of these tournaments/trophies mentioned in anything I have found in the qualifying (mentioning names for either) since the tournament went to its present format as opposed to the old East-West final format.

So is the team the Montague Marines or the PEI Stallions? The NESHL list them as the Montague Marines on the standings page of their website (which is the only mention of a nickname I can find on the site) and the Guardian's article list them as the PEI Stallions.

So is it too late for the Toronto Maple Leafs to declare?

My guess is regardless of how they finish in the NESHL they would have to play the Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts in the Atlantic Region Allan Cup Qualifier in a best two of three series. They would have to be under the sanction of Hockey PEI not Hockey NB. This sounds like it should be the same scenario that has the Rosetown Red Wings playing in the Rathgaber Cup as Saskatchewan's representative against the Manitoba AAA champion for a spot in the Allan Cup even though the league is based in Alberta. Hockey New Brunswick is the host branch not the Atlantic Region. But figuring the deadline was August 31st to file as Senior AAA for the Allan Cup who knows. Doug Mathieson would be the best one to answer this question.

Amqui and Memramcook are not on the league website any longer.
The league only added the Montague Marines as a member from what is now posted on the website. The schedule is not complete but they are only listed for 1 game so far(other teams are scheduled for 2 or 3 games each ).
The other 4 Senior AAA teams make up the rest of the league.
Nothing is listed on Montague's facebook page or on the league website if the team is Senior AAA or not.
With them being from PEI would that throw a monkey wrench in the Allan Cup qualifying for Grand Falls-Windsor? I am thinking they (Montague) could not qualify by winning the league playoffs as that is the de facto NB Senior AAA provincial championship (and not under Hockey New Brunswick jurisdiction) and they would have to meet Grand Falls-Windsor to qualify for the Allan Cup spot as they would be the only other Senior AAA team in the region. But then again wouldn't it be a moot point as they didn't declare by the September 1st deadline?

Has anyone heard if the league is only going to be the four AAA teams this season? The league has not updated its website in over a month and a half.
The league still list contacts for a team that didn't even play last season.
Any word on Amqui or Meramcook playing in the league but not completing for the Allan Cup?

I thought that teams in BC had to play a minimum of six games during the season to be eligible to qualify for the Allan Cup; whether it be for the BC championship or the Pacific region spot? Wasn't that why a team pulled out of AAA to play AA level in either 2015 or 2016 (I am thinking Terrace River Kings but not certain due to a problem with getting some games scheduled with Whitehorse).

Doug, Does this mean that the North East Senior Hockey League playoffs will double as the qualifier for the unused Quebec spot; or is New Brunswick having a separate qualifier tournament? As all of the team's in New Brunswick play in the same league.

Yeah that old alliance on the Maritime Amateur Hockey Association. Like I said I haven't been in Nova Scotia in a while. (Like they still had the Halifax Citadels of the AHL).

I could not remember if the MAHA was in existence at all if even only on paper. Its been 30+ years since I have been up in Nova Scotia on a regular basis.

Wade, I know that GFW is the 2016 Herder Cup winner and thus the provincial rep in the 2017 Atlantic qualifier, but could another team declare and try to qualify for the Allan Cup tournament as an independent? (in theory, more so as the travel cost off the island is prohibitive to any team wanting to play).
And a second question is New Brunswick considered the host branch or is Atlantic Canada?

With the way Newfoundland is set up for senior hockey, would another team be allowed to declare for Senior AAA this year and be eligible to compete for a spot? The Herder champion from the previous year would be the province's representative for the Atlantic qualifying. I am assuming no due to the way it is set up.

What would happen if Lameque does not declare for AAA and no one else steps up in Atlantic Canada? (Meaning the Quebec spot that is not being claimed.) Who would it go to since there is no additional team in the host branch?
