In 1966 (only) the Canadian Challenge Cup was played by representative amateur teams of
provinces, instead of clubs.  This was in order to select a provisional squad of 32 players
for a national amateur team which would represent Canada at the Pan-American Games 1967 to be
held at Winnipeg, and the Olympic Games 1968.

All matches were played at Winnipeg, Manitoba.
