RBC Cup
Every year, 137 teams from across Canada vie for the RBC Cup, Junior ‘A’ hockey’s national championship. Five finalists compete for the RBC Cup in head-to-head match-ups in the weeklong tournament.
RBC Cup finalists are made up of the host team and four regional winners from the 10 Junior ‘A’ leagues across Canada.
Many NHL players began their careers in Junior ‘A’ hockey competing for the RBC Cup, including Rod Brind’Amour, U.S. Olympic medallist Scott Gomez and two-time Canadian Olympic medallist Paul Kariya.
In addition to some exciting hockey, the RBC Cup is a community celebration featuring activities such as street hockey games for charity, visits to local schools by players to be ‘reading buddies’, coaches forums, and minor hockey skills clinics.
