Current[]

A pre-selected host team plus the champions of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League, Ontario Junior Hockey League, and Superior International Junior Hockey League play a single round robin preliminary round followed by a the second and third place teams from the round robin meeting in the semifinal and the winner of that game meeting the first place team from the round robin in the championship game. The winner of the championship advances to the National Junior A Championship. If the predetermined host of this tournament also wins their league playoffs the runner-up qualifies as the league representative. This format has been used since the 2001-02 season when the Superior International Junior Hockey League began play.
