2008 Allan Cup

[1] The 2008 tournament was hosted by the City of Brantford, Ontario, and the Brantford Blast of the Ontario Hockey Association's Major League Hockey.

[2] Ontario was represented by two different teams in the 2008 Allan Cup, not including the hosts.

[3] The Whitby Dunlops represented the Ontario Hockey Federation as a whole by winning the Robertson Cup grand championship, played between the winners of Major League Hockey and the Eastern Ontario Senior Hockey League.

[4] The other representatives were the Dundas Real McCoys, who despite losing the Robertson Cup to the Dunlops received a second chance at the Allan Cup because they pushed through to the Greater Ontario championship, the Renwick Cup and defeated Hockey Northwestern Ontario's Thunder Bay Hawks.

[5] The reason for the second representative being awarded was due to a lack of a Maritime entry in the Senior "AAA" ranks for the season.
