Savage Cup

The Savage Cup is the trophy that is awarded to British Columbia’s senior ice hockey champions. This trophy was first presented in 1912-13 to the ice hockey team fielded by the Vancouver Rowing Club. and the Savage Cup will be awarded to the BC provincial champions for the 2009-10 season.

Historically the Savage Cup winner was advanced directly to the Allan Cup playoffs, with the first playoff game against the Alberta champions. Over time, provincial senior hockey leagues became less common in Canada; starting with the 2009-10 season, the Savage Cup is awarded to the top British Columbia team at the Allan Cup, if one competes in that annual tournament.
