Background
The western Canadian semifinal, final, and Memorial Cup were all held at Shea's Amphitheatre in Winnipeg, as it was the only arena in Canada between Vancouver and Toronto with artificial ice, thus avoiding issues with thawing. [1] The Regina Pats, representing Saskatchewan (their eighth consecutive season as provincial champions), Calgary Canadians from Alberta, and Winnipeg Tammany Tigers from Manitoba competed for the western championship. Regina and Winnipeg played a two game series on March 18 and 20, 1924 to determine who would play Calgary for the western title, in another two game series on March 22 and 24; Regina won the two games 2-0 and 7-2. [2] in the two games against Calgary the games were split with Regina winning game one 4-2 and Calgary game two, also 4-2, so overtime was required, which Calgary won. [3]
From the east, Owen Sound had defeated, in succession, the Kitchener Colts, Kenora Thistles, North Bay Trappers, and Montreal Westmounts. [1]
