In January <strong>20</strong>12, the Canadian Junior Hockey League announced a new regional<br />
playoff format for its four western provinces. The champions of the British Columbia<br />
Hockey League, Alberta Junior Hockey League, Saskatchewan Junior Hockey<br />
League, and Manitoba Junior Hockey League now participate annually in a fiveteam<br />
tournament with the host team. The 13-game tournament includes a roundrobin<br />
schedule followed by two semifinal games and a championship game. The Western<br />
Canada Cup Champion and the Runner-Up both represent Western Canada at the RBC<br />
Cup National Junior A Championship.<br />
The Western Canada Cup will not continue past <strong>20</strong>17 following a five-year trial of the format.<br />
The <strong>AJHL</strong> Champion and BCHL Champion will once again compete in a best-of-seven<br />
series for the right to advance to the RBC Cup starting in <strong>20</strong>18.<br />
