The path to the Royal Bank of Canada Cup will take a quick side trip to Neepawa, as the championship trophy that’s annually awarded to the top junior “A” hockey team in Canada will be on display at the local RBC branch on Apr. 27-28.

RBC regional vice president for Manitoba West, Terry Burgess said the tour will travel to RBC branches across the province starting on Wednesday, Apr. 1 in Selkirk and ending in Portage la Prairie the week leading up to the tournament, which is scheduled for May. 9-17 at the PCU Centre in Portage.

“The trophy tour has been a big success over the last few years and having the trophy here really drives home that the first puck drop is not too far away,” said Burgess. “We invite the community to join in the excitement, take their photos with the trophy and help us celebrate the upcoming championship.”

Neepawa branch manager Scott Dyke said RBC is very pleased to be a major sponsor for the tournament and to have the cup make a stop in Neepawa. He added that everyone is invited to come in and see and take pictures with the trophy.
