1957 Memorial Cup

The Flin Flon Bombers won their first Memorial Cup championship by defeating the Ottawa Junior Canadiens four games to three in a best-of-seven final series held at the Whitney Forum and the Regina Exhibition Stadium.

[1] Prior to the playoffs, the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) requested permission for its champion to be allowed three additional players on its roster if the team reached the Western Canada final.

The SJHL requested permission for the Bombers to add players to its roster for the Western Canada final which was declined in a vote by CAHA branch presidents.

[6] Pollock criticized the CAHA for scheduling games in Flin Flon, which he felt gave the Bombers an unfair advantage as opposed to playing at a neutral location.

[5] Pollock was ejected from game five for excessive vocal criticism on the on-ice officials during the second period, and later said that Flin Flon "can't win it honestly with that type of refereeing".
