Both Quebec and the Maritime Provinces were not represented at the 2009 Allan Cup. It was the second consecutive year that the Maritimes had been unable to muster together a Senior "AAA" club. Quebec missed the tournament for the first time in recent history due to their only major Senior league being on hiatus that season. A new regional grouping was added for 2009, as
Northern Ontario was represented by the
Thunder Bay Twins who defeated the
Kenora Thistles 2-games-to-1. The
Southern Ontario region was represented by the
Dundas Real McCoys, winner of
Major League Hockey, the only league to fully be taking part in this year's Allan Cup. Saskatchewan was a battle between the
2007 Allan Cup champion
Lloydminster Border Kings and the
Weyburn Devils, won by Lloydminster. The
Alberta champions,
Bentley Generals, defeated the
Fort St. John Flyers, the only team registered in
British Columbia, to win the McKenzie Cup and the Pacific seed. ==Teams==
