Challenge Cup (ice hockey)
The Challenge Cup International AAA Championship Showcase (colloquially known as the Challenge Cup or simply The Cup) is an international ice hockey tournament held annually in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia for ice hockey teams from around the world. Ages range from Novice Minor (age 9) to Midget Major (age 18) for both girls and boys and the tournament is traditionally held on the weekend of the Canadian holiday Victoria Day.〔http://www.challengecup.com/〕
Within each age level, teams are divided into three divisions: A, B, and C. During the exhibition round and round-robin play, teams play games with opponents within their own division. Upon completion of round-robin play, teams enter the elimination round. Teams play compete within their own divisions and later play teams in other divisions. Teams with the most wins are considered tournament winners. Points are distributed in the following order: 3 points for a regulation win, 2 points for an overtime win, 1 point for an overtime loss, and 0 points for a regulation loss.〔http://www.challengecup.com/leagues/rules.cfm?leagueID=2982&clientID=435〕 Ties are decided in this order: 1) Most points 2) Team with the greatest number of wins 3) Games against team with equal record 4) Penalty minute differential 5) Basic goal differential GF (Goals For) – GA (Goals Against) 6) Total goal differential GF-GA/GF 7) Team with the fewest penalty minutes〔
==History==
First held in 1992 as a relatively obscure tournament, the Challenge Cup has grown in prestige, particularly in the local community, particularly the Lower Mainland where the tournament ranks as one of the most significant events on the hockey calendar. Since its opening ceremonies on May 22, 1992, and the first finals on May 24, 1992,〔http://www.mediaontap.com/sports/banff_hockey_academy.php〕 the tournament has grown to over 250 expected teams in 2010,〔http://www.challengecup.com/leagues/newsletter.cfm?clientid=435&leagueid=0&page=31505〕 another increase from previous years. In 2008 and 2009, the tournament hosted 186 teams, and 220 teams respectively.〔http://www.challengecup.com/leagues/newsletter.cfm?leagueID=0&clientID=435&stype=1&page=24873〕 Among the divisions with the most teams are Bantam Minor (24 teams), Pee-Wee minor (24 teams), and Atom Major (26 teams). In 2007, there were even fewer teams, at 161.〔http://www.challengecup.com/leagues/newsletter.cfm?leagueID=0&clientID=435&stype=1&page=17540〕 The opening ceremonies are always kicked off with a speech from the Challenge Cup's celebrity guest Walter Gretzky.
