2022 Centennial Cup
The 2022 Centennial Cup was the 50th annual Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) national championship tournament for the 2021–22 season. The tournament took place at Affinity Place in Estevan, Saskatchewan from May 18 to 29, 2022. It was the first year the event had been played since 2019, as the COVID-19 pandemic had forced the cancellation of the 2020 and 2021 tournaments. The Brooks Bandits defeated the Pickering Panthers in the championship game to win the national title.
Format
In 2022, the Centennial Cup moved to a 10-team format, including the champions from each of the 9 leagues that make up the CJHL, and the host team, thus eliminating the intervening regional contests for the ANAVET Cup, the Fred Page Cup and the Doyle Cup. Since the Estevan Bruins had a guaranteed berth as the host team, the qualifying berth for the SJHL champions was awarded to the second place Flin Flon Bombers.The format consisted of a 4-game round-robin with two groups of five teams, followed by a six-team single-elimination play-off.

As a result of scheduling conflicts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, all regional championships were cancelled by Hockey Canada and all nine CJHL league champions and the host team, Estevan Bruins, participated in the tournament, the first time this format had ever been used.Alberta Junior Hockey League
