Don't hold your breath. With the pandemic going the way it is I wouldn't expect there to be any interbranch play for 2020-21 The major junior leagues are playing or planning on playing within divisions only to cut down on travel and reduce the amount of governments that they have to answer to.

Prediction:
The Army will patent & administer a vaccine for COVID-19, essentially defeating the pandemic just prior to the February roster cutdown.
They will then sweep Innisfail Eagles in Alberta SR AAA Best of 7 Finals, advance direct to a hybrid Allan Cup tournament where just 4 teams attend. The Army will win 3 round robin games to advance to the 2021 AC FINALS before losing in the finals to a team from Germany...brought to the tournament under a “pandemic provision” qualification format.
The message board will briefly flicker to life for a few evenings in April when I try to dissect whether or not Germany was truly a legitimate competitor and some nameless cyber-sniper will insist The Gens deserved to lose because they were paying their goalie $250 per game and the Corona vaccine “tasted a bit coppery”

No surprise here, but Hockey Canada has cancelled all national tournaments this year, including the Allan Cup. www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/news/2021-news-national-events-cancelledHOCKEY CANADA STATEMENT ON SPRING 2021 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
February 5, 2021| CALGARY, Alta. – Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the decision has been made to cancel all spring 2021 national championships, including the Esso Cup, TELUS Cup, Centennial Cup, presented by Tim Hortons, and Allan Cup. The following is a statement on behalf of Hockey Canada from Tom Renney, chief executive officer, and Scott Smith, president and chief operating officer: “Despite a strong desire to work with four great communities to host the top players at various levels across the country this season, the health and safety of all participants and the communities at large continues to be of the utmost importance to Hockey Canada. The ongoing pandemic, coupled with the fact that many regions in the country are not currently playing organized hockey, left us with no other option. We believe the decision to cancel our spring 2021 national championships is the safest decision given the ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic at a local level, as well as the uncertainty around each region being able to compete for a national championship. Hockey Canada is grateful for the continued support of local host committees and event partners, including B.C. Hockey, Hockey Alberta, the Saskatchewan Hockey Association, the Ontario Hockey Federation and the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL), as well as the communities of Penticton, B.C., Prince Albert, Sask., Calgary, Alta., and Dundas, Ont., and all local and provincial funding partners. Our organization is appreciative of the commitment and support of all stakeholders and we look forward to showcasing our national championships and all participants to fans next year.” Hockey Canada will continue to work with event stakeholders to host the spring 2022 national championships with a confirmation of all 2022 host communities to be announced in the coming months.

No surprise, there weren't any teams playing south of the 60th parallel any way.
Hey wait a minute, they actually awarded the hosting duties to the tournament to begin with?
