Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all from the Rock, although presently in Edmonton,Alberta, was here for the Juniors but still here.
So let the FACTS and RUMOURS go....

I think it's not happening this year.
The Hamiliton Steelhawks announced they are sitting out this year earlier today.
I think Hamilton's statement is making it look like there is no way ACH is playing this season or the Allan Cup being held in Ontario.
It looks like the Innisfail Eagles may win it by default.

not looking good again this year, time to start following another sport to get some travelling done, will miss Allan Cup and friends met along the way.
maybe even a summer sport so we dont have a cold rink to go to.

I can tell you that as far fetched as it seems, there is still a slight possibility of an Allan Cup. There is interest from the West. At least one team from Alberta. Even interest for some Canadian University teams to compete. Would be late April if it happens.
Would be exclusively in Dundas.
If I’m a betting man, i think they will postpone one more time til 2023. I feel that the 4-5 AAA teams in Ontario will help resurrect Senior hockey next year in not only Ontario, but possibly the rest of the country.
Senior AAA hockey finally starts up again next week in Ontario. I think an announcement will come with a few weeks regarding another postponement … or hopefully a small “open” Allan Cup tournament
I say “why not”. Allow any team registered as AAA or Canadian University teams.
I’ve always been a proponent of a “FA Cup” style format. Let University, AA and AAA teams to register. Must play in a league. Then start regional knockdowns.

Which Uni teams are inquiring, that's a very interesting spin on things!

Haut-Madawaska has resumed play in the Regional Hockey League, although I'm not sure if they have any intentions on competing for the Allan Cup. They currently sit in first place with an 11-2 record, one point up on second place St. Quentin.

Big game Friday in the ACH Showcase in Ontario. Hamilton v Dundas. First of four games versus each other. Dundas' Facebook live-streamed the Hamilton v Flamborough on Sunday.

Innisfail is registered by HA as a AA team. Will be competing in playoffs and provincials. AC from what i ahve heard around leagues and officials is a july AC with Ontario teams (2), Innisfail when they can declare AAA again. Possible CIS team, and possible teams from other regions. looks like at least 4 teams but could expand to 6

Some one else posted that Hockey Alberta had indicated that the Allan Cup was cancelled and Innisfail was now Senior AA. (I couldn't find that posting either).
The league was supposed to end on Sunday but the final game was cancelled and they are not being listed in the playoff bracket for the league. |

the RHL is having mega identity issues. There is lots of drama currently witt many teams having issues on how the league was run and is being run etc. since HA listed inny as a AA the assumption by many in league was they would run for AC as in June of 21’ they registered as AAA. HA had other ideas as according to them from Hockey Canada AC would not go ahead, as a result I guess HA took it upon themselves to just register them as AA without informing teams until last minute. I’ve checked bylaws and from my view it looks like inny either got kicked out of league as it looks like the pres and vp are not the same as when league started? Not sure how that works given a leadership change in any league can’t happen until annual AGM meetings in may. My assumption is teams didn’t like getting beat and are just being sore losers?? Anyway looks like a long battle to keep team in league my be underway. Stay tuned looks interesting
