THE FRED PAGE CUP

Fred Page Cup

The British Columbia Hockey League playoff champions are awarded The Fred Page Cup.

From 1962 - 1995 the League Champions were awarded the Nat Bailey Cup. The trophy was donated by Nat Bailey, the owner of the White Spot Restaurants.

The Nat Bailey Trophy was renamed from 1996 to 1998, as a result of a major sponsor, to the Subway Cup.

The Champions are currently decided by a best-of-seven game series between the Coastal Conference Champions and the Interior Conference Champions. It must be noted however that in the past this series has been decided by a best-of-five, a round-robin, a 10-point system and has been stopped mid-series. Also, in 1987 the series ended 5-0 (according to the BCHL Now 2005/2006 Year Book, maybe be a printing error , or, it was a best-of-nine).
