“The Road to the Telus Cup” has Officially Begun!

“The Road to the Telus Cup” has Officially Begun!

The prestigious TELUS CUP U18 Hockey Tournament is coming to Peterborough April 20 – 26, 2026! We are proud to partner with the City of Peterborough to help promote this tournament, which will see the best of this age group from across Canada play at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.

The TELUS Cup, currently on display at the Hall of Fame, has been a starting point for hundreds of NHL careers; alumni include a trio of first-overall picks (Gord Kluzak, Wendel Clark, Sidney Crosby), and a who’s-who of Canadian stars past and present – names like Rod Brind’Amour, Jordan Eberle, Ron Francis, Kris Letang, Sam Reinhart, Rielly, Roy, Joe Sakic, Mark Stone and Steve Yzerman.

Since 1974, the best under-18 teams in the country have gathered to compete for Canada’s U18 Men’s National Club Championship. Five regional champions join the host team in a week-long marathon to crown the very best in Canada. The LHM18AAAQ champions advance directly to the TELUS Cup as Quebec representatives, while the other four regional spots are filled by the champions of Pacific (B.C. and Alberta), West (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, NW Ontario), Central (GNU18L, MHAO, GTHL, OMHA, HEO) and Atlantic (N.S., N.L., N.B., P.E.I.).
