The Abbott Memorial Cup, commonly referred to as the Abbott Cup, is the Tier II Junior "A" Ice Hockey Championship for the Western Canadian leagues of the Canadian Junior A Hockey League . The Cup was named after Captain E.L. (Hick) Abbott who was a noted hockey player in Western Canada. He captained the Regina Victorias when it won the Junior Championship of Canada in 1913 and 1914 . Captian Abbott died in active service in the First World War and the trophy was presented in his memory in 1919 by the Saskatchewan Amateur Hockey Association and is awarded annually for the championship of Junior "A" Hockey in Western Canada. The Abbott Cup was donated to be awarded to the top Junior "A" hockey team in all of Western Canada (all junior teams were considered). In 1934 junior hockey was divided into Junior "A" and "B", with the Abbott Cup being awarded to the junior "A" Level. The Junior "B" Western Canadian Championship is the Keystone Cup |
