The Ottawa RCAF Flyers defeated the Port Arthur Bearcats by three games to two to win the Allan Cup. National playoffs Quebec Amateur Hockey Association (QAHA) president Norman Dawe sought for teams from Eastern Canada to have more home games during the Allan Cup playoffs. At the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) general meeting in April 1941, his motion was approved to allow the eastern and western portions of the national playoffs to be handled by the respective CAHA branches.

Allan Cup
The Allan Cup is the trophy awarded annually to the national senior amateur men's ice hockey champions of Canada. It was donated by Sir Montagu Allan of Ravenscrag, Montreal, and has been competed for since 1909. The current champions are the Lacombe Generals, who captured the 2019 Allan Cup in Lacombe, Alberta.

The top amateur teams left the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association, which allowed professionals, to form the new Inter-Provincial Amateur Hockey Union (IPAHU), a purely amateur league.

Gate Receipts
Gate receipts, or simply "gate", is the sum of money taken at a sporting venue for the sale of tickets. Traditionally, gate receipts were largely or entirely taken in cash. Today, many sporting venues will operate a season ticket scheme, which will mean they allocate a proportion of season ticket monies when announcing gate receipts for a particular event. "Gate" is also sometimes used in reference to the number of people in attendance. Association football In the English Football League, gate receipts usually go to the home team, however, for cup matches, the gate is split with the other club, after deduction of expenses. Prior to 1983, a percentage of league game gate receipts were given to the away club. The league also charged a levy on the gate receipts. Home clubs receive gate compensation money from a pool if a game is postponed due to the away team being involved in an FA Cup or EFL Cup match. In the Scottish Football League the entire gate receipts of all league matches ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
