Cyclone Taylor Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cyclone Taylor Cup tournament serves as the British Columbia Provincial Junior B Hockey Championship. The annual tournament is held amongst the champions of British Columbia's three Junior B ice hockey leagues, as well as a host team. The winner of the Cyclone Taylor Cup moves onto the Western Canadian Junior B championship, the Keystone Cup.

The tournament and championship trophy is named after Hockey Hall of Famer Fred "Cyclone" Taylor, who was an integral member of the Vancouver Millionaires Stanley Cup victory in 1915.

The 2006 Cyclone Taylor Cup champions are the Delta Ice Hawks of the Pacific International Junior Hockey League.
