Contents

The Centennial Cup was competed for by the winners of the Abbott Cup, Dudley Hewitt Cup, the Callaghan Cup, and a 'Host' team.

The tournament was hosted by the Pembroke Lumber Kings in the city of Pembroke, Ontario.

The Playoffs

The Thunder Bay Flyers coached by Dave Siciliano won the United States Hockey League playoffs, despite that the team had 13 rookies. The Ottawa Citizen credited the team's success to its skating ability, puck control and aggressive forechecking. [1] The Pembroke Lumber Kings defeated the Flyers in four consecutive games in the Dudley Hewitt Cup playoffs to determine the Central Canada "Junior A" champion. [2] Since the Lumber Kings hosted the 1988 Centennial Cup tournament and received an automatic berth, the Flyers advanced to the Centennial Cup tournament as the Dudley Hewitt Cup finalists. [3]
