Road to the Cup
AUS playoffs
OUA Playoffs
The 2009 OUA hockey Conference had two divisions broken-up further into two groups each for a total of four groups: Far-East, Mid-East, Mid-West and Far-West. The pennant winner of each group advanced to the second round and the next best four teams in the division (across both groups) played each other in the first round. The 'next best four' approach accounted for weaknesses and strengths between teams in the same division (as an example,: in the East, the 'next best four' teams all came from the Far-East Group; McGill, Concordia, Carleton and Ottawa). Since Lakehead was hosting the University Cup and did not advance to the Queen's Cup final and an OUA team can not be a wild-card when the University Cup is hosted by an OUA team, there was no requirement for a bronze medal game.Canada West playoffs
University Cup
The six teams that advanced to the tournament are listed below. The wild-card team was selected from the AUS Conference as the CW was provided the wild-card in 2008 and OUA teams were ineligible as they were the host conference. With Lakehead losing in the first round of the playoffs, they were a natural 'host' and are the 6th seed. Ranking was based on the last Top 10 media release for the season, February 17, well before the end of the playoffs. The Ranking Committee provided the Tournament Committee with a 6-team mini-ranking prior to the tournament which was then used for seeding. As this was not a 'formal' Top 10, it was not released to the media leaving the February 17 ranking as the last and most recent Top 10.Pool A - Evening
Pool B - Afternoon
Note: The Western Mustangs were the second team in the expanded 6-team format, to advance to the championship final with a 1–1 record. The Alberta Golden Bears were the first team to advanced to the finals with a 1–1 record, which occurred the previous season in Moncton.Championship final
Bench assignments were based on each advancing team's 2 pool games, not their tournament seed. UNB was assigned the home bench based on their record of 2-0 versus Western at 1-1.Tournament All-Stars
