Nova Scotia Senior Playoffs

The Nova Scotia Senior Playoffs were the senior championship for the province of Nova Scotia. Most times the Maritimes Amateur Hockey Association (MAHA) (which oversaw the three maritime provinces (NB, NS, and PEI) would divide the region up into sections. When three sections were used the southern section would be Nova Scotia or most of the mainland and Cape Breton Island. In some years the northwestern section of the province would be in the Central Section, which included most of New Brunswick. So in some years Nova Scotia teams would be entered in what would appear to be the New Brunswick Senior Playoffs.
The only true Nova Scotia championship was held from 1921-22 to 1923-24 as after that either the northwestern section of the province participated in the Central section or the Maritimes Senior Playoffs would have the teams playoff regardless of province, however starting in 1952-53 the Nova Scotia teams would playoff in the early rounds of the Maritimes playoffs (probably as a travel saver and the fact that there were no provincial level sanctioning bodies) with the Nova Scotia "champion" playing against the winner of the New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island teams or there were so few leagues and teams that Nova Scotia based leagues would have all of the teams competing in the Maritimes Senior Playoffs. The MAHA would stop holding the Maritimes Senior Playoffs after the 1966-67 edition. New Brunswick would withdraw from the MAHA in 1968 forming their own provincial sanctioning body and Hockey Nova Scotia was formed in 1974.

Note: due to teams in northwestern Nova Scotia playing in the Central Section a true Nova Scotia champion was usually not determined with all of the teams competing in the same portion of the tournament indicated by (Southern Section) above. In many years league champions and independent teams advanced directly to the Maritimes Senior Playoffs indicated by Maritimes championship above. In some years all the Nova Scotia teams would play down against each other prior to the Maritimes Final and that champion would usually play the NB/PEI winner.
