History
The Renwick Cup dates back to at least 1990. Originally, the Renwick Cup championship was followed by an Eastern Canada Championship known as the Bolton Cup, but in recent years that championship has been dropped in favor of the round robin format at the Allan Cup.
The championship is played between the champions of the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) and Hockey Northwestern Ontario (HNO). The OHF champion is determined by the winner of the Allan Cup Hockey league in Southern Ontario. The HNO championship is determined by playoffs amongst teams from larger towns in northwestern Ontario like Thunder Bay, Kenora, and Fort Frances. In some years, HNO has not submitted a champion or been given its own spot in the Allan Cup when another region has withdrawn.
In 2016, the Renwick Cup was not competed for, due to the folding of the Kenora Thistles.
