Since 1984 the Allan Cup has been competed for by teams in the Senior
AAA category. Although interest in senior ice hockey has diminished
over its history, the Cup retains an important place in Canadian ice
hockey.[3]
The Cup championship is determined in an annual tournament held in the
city or town of a host team, playing off against regional champions.
The Cup has been won by teams from every province and from the Yukon, as well as by two teams from the United States which played in Canadian leagues. The city with the most Allan Cup championships is Thunder Bay with 10, including four won as Port Arthur before the city's amalgamation. The original Cup has been retired to the Hockey Hall of Fame, and a replica is presented to the champions.
