Information[]

Both Quebec and that Maritime Provinces will not be represented at the 2009 Allan Cup. This is the second consecutive year that the Maritimes has been unable to muster together a Senior "AAA" club. Quebec will be missing the tournament for the first time in recent history due to their only major Senior league taking a hiatus this season.^[2] It is unclear if the league will return for 2009-10.

A new regional grouping was added for 2009, as Northern Ontario was represented by the Thunder Bay Twins who defeated the Kenora Thistles 2-games-to-1.^[3] The Southern Ontario region was represented by the Dundas Real McCoys, winner of Major League Hockey, the only league to fully be taking part in this year's Allan Cup.^[4]

With Steinbach hosting the 2009 event, the winners of the South East and the Selkirk Rivermen would represent Manitoba at the Allan Cup. The winner ended up being Southeast. Of course ^[5] Saskatchewan was a battle between the 2007 Allan Cup champion Lloydminster Border Kings and the Weyburn Devils, won by Lloydminster.^[6]
