2016 Allan Cup

The 2016 Allan Cup was the 2016 Canadian Grand National Championship of Senior ice hockey and the 108th year the trophy was awarded. The tournament was contended in Steinbach, Manitoba from April 11 to April 16, 2016, with all games played at the T.G. Smith Centre.[1][2] The Bentley Generals defeated the host and defending champion South East Prairie Thunder in overtime to win the national title.[3]

Information

This year's Allan Cup marked the second time in eight seasons that the Allan Cup was played in Steinbach, with three of the participating teams from 2009 returning for 2016. The South East Prairie Thunder were formally announced as the host club in September 2014, the 2009 champion Bentley Generals qualified by winning Alberta's Chinook Hockey League, and the 2009 host team, Île-des-Chênes North Stars, qualified as Manitoba champions.[1][4]

The other three clubs to qualify were the Stoney Creek Generals, who captured the OHA Allan Cup Hockey championship and Renwick Cup; the Shellbrook Elks, who qualified by default as the lone Senior 'AAA' club in Saskatchewan; and the Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts, winner of the Atlantic region playoff.[5][6]
