The Ontario Mining Cup is an annual mining industry ice hockey tournament held in Timmins, Ontario at the McIntyre Arena.[1] The event is currently hosted by the Porcupine branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM).[2][3] The event was founded as an education fundraiser by mining engineer and mayor of Timmins Steve Black, in 2014.[4][5] Proceeds from the tournament go towards scholarships, bursaries and awards for mining students at the Haileybury Campus of Northern College.[6][7][8]
The tournament is a round robin competition followed by a single elimination playoff that has determined the mining industry champion since the inaugural 2014 Ontario Mining Cup Hockey Tournament.[9] The tournament features 16 teams representing mining sector organizations.[10]
