The 2005 Allan Cup was the Canadian senior ice hockey championship for the 2004–05 senior "AAA" season. The event was hosted by the Lloydminster Border Kings in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan/ Alberta. The 2005 tournament marked the 97th year that the Allan Cup has been awarded.
This Allan Cup coincided with the 2004-05 NHL lockout which had wiped out the entire 2004-05 NHL season including the Stanley Cup Playoffs. As a result, the tournament enjoyed considerably more media coverage compared to what is typically devoted to the Allan Cup. Among the participants involved was Theoren Fleury, [1] a former National Hockey League all-star, playing for the Horse Lake Thunder during the lockout.
