champions Winnipeg Monarchs (MJHL), Winnipeg Monarchs of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League in Western Canada. In a best-of-three series, held at Shea's Amphitheatre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Winnipeg won their 1st Memorial Cup, defeating Sudbury 2 games to 1. The Ontario Hockey Association was late in deciding its champion due to the use of an ineligible player by the Oshawa Generals. CAHA president E. A. Gilroy stated the matter would be dealt with at the next general meeting to avoid a repeat, as it was unfair to teams in Western Canada to sit idle waiting to play an Eastern Canada team. In Game 2, three of the seven Sudbury goals came on power plays in the final two minutes. By the last 15 seconds, the Monarchs had only their goalie and a defenceman left, unpenalized, on the ice, and very nearly just their goalie. An unlimited number of players could be penalized at once according to the rules of the day. The displeased Winnipeg crowd bombarded the rink with programs and peanut shells. The Monarchs were invited by Cecil Duncan to play a tour in the United Kingdom to coincide with the Canada men's national ice hockey team tour of Europe in advance of ice hockey at the 1936 Winter Olympics.
