The Kent Cup is the playoff championship trophy for the Maritime Junior A Hockey League.
History
The trophy's history indirectly goes back to the league's founding as the Metro Valley Junior Hockey League in 1967.
From 1977 (when the league was elevated to Junior A) until 1978 (when the Manitoba Centennial Cup added a berth for the Atlantic Region champions) the league champion was eligible to compete for the Dudley Hewitt Cup but the league champions did not win either year they were eligible.
From 1979 until 1991, the league was one of several leagues in the region and the champion competed for the Callaghan Cup as Atlantic Regional Champions.
The Callaghan Cup became the championship trophy for the MJAHL when the league became the only Junior a league in the Atlantic region.
Starting in 1995 the Callaghan Cup champion advanced to the Fred Page Cup for the eastern Canada spot in the Royal Bank Cup.
The Callaghan Cup was retired in 2006 and replaced by they Kent Cup.
MVJHL/MHL/MJAHL Champions
Up until 1991, the league champion would play in the Callaghan Cup (the Atlantic Junior A Championship).The MJAHL became a regional league in 1991 absorbing some of the members from the other Junior A leagues in the Atlantic Region. The Callaghan Cup became the league's playoff championship trophy until it was retired after the 2005-06 season in favor of the Kent Cup.
