Queen ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s Athletics & Recreation and RMC Athletics announced today that the 35th Carr-Harris Cup is suspended for the 2022 season. The Gaels and Paladins are looking forward to the return of the Carr-Harris Cup as a signature event in the 2023 hockey season.

The Carr-Harris Cup has become a marquee game in the Gaels and Paladins hockey schedules and a featured community event within the City of Kingston ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s Feb Fest celebration. Prior to the pandemic, the 34th Carr-Harris Cup was played in front of a record crowd of 4,121 on Feb. 6, 2020, at the Leon ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s Centre. 

Queen ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s and RMC athletic staff jointly agreed to suspend the game after careful considering the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the respective university health and safety protocols and the logistics of staging all elements of the game that have come to be synonymous with the Carr-Harris Cup.  

Both programs would like to thank the Carr-Harris family, the Leon ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s Centre, the Original Hockey Hall of Fame, the Downtown Kingston! Business Improvement Area for their continued support and stewardship of the event. Both programs look forward to the 35th Carr-Harris Cup and its celebration of the longest hockey rivalry in the world as one of the signature events celebrating the City of Kingston in February 2023.

A date for the next Carr-Harris Cup will be confirmed following the release of the 2022-23 OUA Men ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s Hockey schedule.
