The ANAVET Cup was an ice hockey trophy awarded by the Canadian Junior Hockey League to the winners of a best-of-seven series between the championship teams of the SJHL and the MJHL. The winner also earned a berth in the Centennial Cup national championship tournament. The series was an annual staple since 1971, excluding the years from 2013 to 2017, when it was replaced by the Western Canada Cup, and 2020–2021, when the competition was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2]
The term "ANAVET" comes from the Canadian non-for-profit organization ANAVETS, or Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada.[1]
The Western region's ANAVET Cup Champion traditionally played against the Pacific region's Doyle Cup champion for the Abbott Cup, the Western Canadian Championship. However, the Abbott Cup diminished in importance following the reorganization of the national championship in 1990. The Abbott Cup was then presented to the winner of the round-robin game, between the Pacific champion and Western champion, during the larger national competition; this practice ended, and the Abbott Cup was retired, after the 1999 season.
