The Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union ice hockey tournament was an annual conference championship held between member teams.
History.
Shortly After World War I, the Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union (WCIAU) was organized. Schools from western Canada had played one another before the war but did not formalize any arrangement until 1919. Initially, the ice hockey division possessed only three conference members but the league was hampered when Alberta withdrew after the inaugural year. With only Manitoba and Saskatchewan as members, the hockey league existed in name only for several years, sometimes not even being contested. Manitoba stopped competing in the late 20s and the league was abandoned until Alberta agreed to play season series with Saskatchewan. However, the WCIAU remained a curiosity until the 1950s.
In 1956, Manitoba returned as full time members and were joined by Brandon, bringing the conference up to four members for the first time. This situation only lasted for two years before Brandon withdrew and the league continued on as a trio. In 1962, the conference dissolved and reformed as the Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Association (WCIAA).
The Halpenny Trophy was donated by Dr. J Halpenny of the University of Saskatchewan in 1922. After winning the trophy every year of competition after 1933, it was permanently given to Alberta in 1950. Afterwards, the Hardy Trophy was awarded to the league champion.
