The Nutrilite Canadian Championship vs. The BMO National Championships

[Robert]

Which is more legit? Both have a cup format. The BMO is much larger size and has a long history. The BMO is also far more representative of Canada, with every province and territory represented. The BMO also has far more Canadian players. Maybe these two championships could be combined? Once the four semi-finalists of the BMO tournament are determined, they could join the four pro clubs for a unified Canadian championship.

AHHHHHHHHH

Would you want to put the Allan Cup Champs Clarenville Caribous against the Vancouver Canucks?

One is pro the other amateur no matter how good they are. Weekend warriors against those that train full-time.

I think not

Great upsets yes but those were still professional teams. Thats more like the AHL champion beating the NHL champion than the Allen's Cup champion doing so.
