Winners of the Veitch Memorial Trophy earns the right to represent Newfoundland and Labrador in the Don Johnson Cup.
Through the years the CWJHL was a league that could churn out a strong contender for the Veitch Memorial Trophy.
A year later at the 2012 Provincials, the champion Humber Valley Jr. Red Wings lost 16–2 to the SJJHL's St. John's Jr.
The drop in competitiveness within the CWJHL combined with a lack of volunteers to run the league led Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador to demote the league to Junior C after the 2012–13 season.
