1953 Allan Cup

Canadian senior ice hockey championship March 2026 thumb|The Allan Cup was the championship trophy for senior hockey overseen by the CAHA.|alt=Silver bowl trophy with two large handles, mounted on a black plinth. The 1953 Allan Cup was the senior ice hockey championship of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) for the 1952–53 season. The event was hosted by the Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen and Kitchener, Ontario. The 1953 playoff marked the 45th time that the Allan Cup has been awarded. CAHA vice-president Jimmy Dunn was chairman of the senior playoffs in 1953, and was faced with multiple branches of the CAHA not participating. He wanted to include as many teams as possible since the CAHA and all of its branches were primarily funded by gate receipts from the playoffs and could not afford the loss of income. The CAHA had suspended the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association for the season due to registration violations, and the Alberta Amateur Hockey Association chose to withdraw from senior hockey. Dunn went to extraordinary efforts to retain the Saskatchewan Amateur Hockey Association teams, which included rescheduling multiple series due to delays in the Saskatchewan playoffs and demands to play against the Manitoba Amateur Hockey Association champion rather than the British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association champion.As I See It Bowles Ted March 7, 1953 Winnipeg Free Press Winnipeg, Manitoba 36 https://newspaperarchive.com/sports-clipping-mar-07-1953-2443941/ Teams Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen (Eastern Canadian champions) Penticton Vees (Western Canadian champions) Playdowns Allan Cup playoffs:Allan Cup Archives 2020-05-13 allancup.ca http://www.allancup.ca/allancuparchivescores.htm 2022-11-06 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20200701174803/http://www.allancup.ca/allancuparchivescores.htm#00%27s 2020-07-01 Allan Cup Best-of-Seven Series Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 3 - Penticton Vees 2 Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 8 - Penticton Vees 3 Penticton Vees 2 - Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 1 Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 6 - Penticton Vees 3 Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 5 - Penticton Vees 0 Eastern Playdowns Semi-final Smiths Falls Rideaus defeated St. John Beavers 4-games-to-none Smiths Falls Rideaus 4 - St. John Beavers 1 Smiths Falls Rideaus 6 - St. John Beavers 2 Smiths Falls Rideaus 9 - St. John Beavers 3 Smiths Falls Rideaus 5 - St. John Beavers 2 Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen defeated Sudbury Wolves 4-games-to-2 with 1 tie Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 4 - Sudbury Wolves 2 Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 8 - Sudbury Wolves 3 Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 3 - Sudbury Wolves 3 Sudbury Wolves 5 - Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 4 Sudbury Wolves 5 - Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 4 Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 3 - Sudbury Wolves 1 Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 6 - Sudbury Wolves 4 Final Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen defeated Smiths Falls Rideaus 4-games-to-3 Smiths Falls Rideaus 6 - Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 2 Smiths Falls Rideaus 2 - Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 0 Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 6 - Smiths Falls Rideaus 4 Smiths Falls Rideaus 7 - Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 4 Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 9 - Smiths Falls Rideaus 1 Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 6 - Smiths Falls Rideaus 1 Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 6 - Smiths Falls Rideaus 0 Western Playdowns Quarter-final Regina Capitals defeated Winnipeg Maroons 4-games-to-3 Winnipeg Maroons 7 - Regina Capitals 2 Winnipeg Maroons 6 - Regina Capitals 1 Regina Capitals 5 - Winnipeg Maroons 0 Regina Capitals 6 - Winnipeg Maroons 3 Winnipeg Maroons 5 - Regina Capitals 2 Regina Capitals 5 - Winnipeg Maroons 3 Regina Capitals 4 - Winnipeg Maroons 1 Semi-final Fort William Beavers defeated Regina Capitals 4-games-to-2 Regina Capitals 5 - Fort William Beavers 3 Regina Capitals 5 - Fort William Beavers 1 Fort William Beavers 4 - Regina Capitals 1 Fort William Beavers 4 - Regina Capitals 0 Fort William Beavers 7 - Regina Capitals 2 Fort William Beavers 5 - Regina Capitals 0 Final Penticton Vees defeated Fort William Beavers 4-games-to-2 Penticton Vees 5 - Fort William Beavers 2 Penticton Vees 4 - Fort William Beavers 3 Fort William Beavers 5 - Penticton Vees 4 Fort William Beavers 5 - Penticton Vees 0 Penticton Vees 5 - Fort William Beavers 1 Penticton Vees 4 - Fort William Beavers 3 References External links Allan Cup website Category:1952–53 in Canadian ice hockey 1953 Category:1953 in sports in Ontario Category:Ice hockey competitions in Ontario Category:Sports competitions in Kitchener, Ontario Category:Ice hockey in Kitchener, Ontario
