Hockey Canada made it official today that Fort McMurray Alberta will be the host of the 2027 Centennial Cup.
The Centennial Cup, presented by Tim Hortons, Canada’s National Junior A Championship, returns to Fort McMurray from May 6-16. The tournament was previously held in the city in 2000, when the host Oil Barons captured their lone national title on home ice. Overall, it will mark the seventh time Alberta has welcomed the best Junior A teams in the country.
This past year the tournament was hosted in Summerside PEI, and the Flin Flon Bombers represented the SJHL at the ten team tournament after winning their first league title in 33 years.
Flin Flon went 2-2 in the round robin and failed to make the playoff round.
The Tournament was won by the MJHL'S Niverville Night Hawks who went undefeated in the tournament, including a 4 to 1 win over the host team, the Summerside West Capitals 4 to 1 in the Championship final.
Schedules and ticket information for the 2027 Centennial Cup will be available at a later date.
