History

The Renwick Cup dates back to at least 1990. Originally, the Renwick Cup championship was followed by an Eastern Canada Championship known as the Bolton Cup, but in recent years that championship has been dropped to expand the size of the Round Robin at the Allan Cup.

The Championship is played for between the Ontario Hockey Federation champion and the champion of Hockey Northwestern Ontario. HNO has now grown to three AAA teams, The Thunder Bay Twins, Fort Frances Thunderhawks and the Kenora Thistles. The OHF champion is determined by the winner of Major League Hockey in Southern Ontario The Northern Ontario Hockey Association has not submitted a champion in recent years.
