The 1928 Allan Cup was the Canadian senior ice hockey championship for the 1927–28 season. The University of Manitoba won the Allan Cup, defeating the Montreal Victorias 2–1 on series. History In November 1926, Allan Cup trustee William Northey suggested that the trophy be withdrawn unless the teams competing for it followed the amateur code more strictly. W. A. Hewitt felt that the sole point of contention was the travel allowance given by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA), to teams travelling to play in Allan Cup games. The CAHA sought a new financial deal with the trustees, since it was financially dependent on the proceeds from Allan Cup gate receipts.Allan Cup Trustee States Trophy May Be Withdrawn The Canadian Press November 1, 1926 Winnipeg Free Press Winnipeg, Manitoba 20 https://newspaperarchive.com/sports-clipping-nov-01-1926-3013719/ H.
