2026 KAP Cup Playoff Schedule Announced

The Burlington Men’s Hockey League is proud to announce the official schedule for the 2025/26 BMHL Playoffs, where six teams will compete for the prestigious Kevin Andrew Pearce (KAP) Cup.

Each year, the KAP Cup Playoffs represent the best of what the BMHL stands for—competitive hockey, strong camaraderie, and the celebration of a community built around the game we love.

Honouring Kevin Andrew Pearce

The KAP Cup is more than a championship trophy. It stands as a lasting tribute to Kevin Andrew Pearce, whose passion for hockey and commitment to building community left a permanent mark on the BMHL.

Though Kevin passed away on March 1, 2023, his legacy continues to inspire the league. The values he embodied—sportsmanship, friendship, and love for the game—remain at the heart of every KAP Cup playoff run.

The Road to the Championship

The 2026 playoffs will once again follow an exciting round-robin format, with each team playing five games to determine final seeding heading into the semi-finals and championship games.

Last season, Team func.media captured the KAP Cup title. Will they repeat as champions, or will a new team rise to etch their name into BMHL history?
