The Coy Cup is awarded to the Senior AA ice hockey champions of British Columbia. Teams from the Yukon have also competed. It is awarded annually to the winners of a round-robin tournament between the champions of the Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL), the champions of the North Peace Hockey League (NPHL), a qualifier from another part of British Columbia or the Yukon, and the designated host city team.
History
The trophy was donated to the British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association by Colonel Coy of the 50th Gordon Highlanders (now the 16th Scottish) of Victoria, British Columbia. The Coy Cup was first awarded to the Enderby Hockey Club in the 1922–23 season.
The Coy Cup is the Senior AA championship of British Columbia, formerly known as Senior B until 1983. The winner of the Coy Cup for some time competed for the now-defunct Hardy Cup National Championship.
In 2017, the Whitehorse Huskies became the first team from outside BC to win the Coy Cup.
