From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Doyle Cup is a championship ice hockey trophy, won through a best-of-7 series, conducted by the Canadian Junior A Hockey League. The series is played between the Fred Page Cup champions of the British Columbia Hockey League and the Rogers Wireless Cup champions of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. The winner of the Doyle Cup moves on to compete for the Royal Bank Cup, the Junior "A" National Championship. The Doyle Cup was donated by a Penticton, British Columbia businessman named Pete Doyle in 1984 to better define the British Columbia/Alberta Championship that had been running since 1962.
The Doyle Cup Champion had traditionally played against the Anavet Cup Champion at the Royal Bank Cup for the Western Canadian Championship, the Abbott Cup. However, with the reorganization of Junior A hockey in Canada, the Abbott Cup had diminished in importance. The last Abbott Cup champion was crowned in 1999, with the trophy being retired.
