  • 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. Over the past several seasons the Renwick Cup has been held between the Kenora Thistles and the champion of Allan Cup Hockey. However, the Thistles folded during the 2015-16 hockey season after they were originally awarded the right to host the 2017 Allan Cup. The tournament was then re-awared to Bouctouche, New Brunswick.

  • 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 had now grown to three AAA teams in 2010, The Thunder Bay Twins, Fort Frances Thunderhawks and the Kenora Thistles, however; Thunder Bay (after 2009-10 season) and Fort Frances (ceasing operations in March 2012) have stopped playing at the AAA level. The OHF champion is determined by the winner of Allan Cup Hockey in Southern Ontario The Northern Ontario Hockey Association has not submitted a champion in recent years. The Renwick Cup has not played in recent years when a team from Ontario hosts the Allan Cup as the host team qualifies and the branch champion qualifies (the Renwick Cup winner) and since a team from Quebec has not represented the province at the Allan Cup since the Quebec Senior Major Hockey League became professional and renamed itself the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey in 2004, and this birth traditionally goes to a team from the host branch and eliminating the need for the Cup as both the ACH champion and the HNO champion would both qualify. Over the past several seasons the Renwick Cup has been held between the Kenora Thistles and the champion of Allan Cup Hockey. However, the Thistles folded during the 2015-16 hockey season after they were originally awarded the right to host the 2017 Allan Cup. The tournament was then re-awared to Bouctouche, New Brunswick.
