1935 Memorial Cup

The 1935 Memorial Cup final was the 17th junior ice hockey championship of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. The George Richardson Memorial Trophy champions Sudbury Cub Wolves of the Northern Ontario Hockey Association in Eastern Canada competed against the Abbott Cup champions 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.

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.[1]

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.[2]
