Blue Jackets Cup
presented by the Columbus Blue Jackets and Accelerate Ohio
GCHSCHL Championship Tournament

The Blue Jackets Cup Columbus Blue Jackets
Accelerate Ohio
The Blue Jackets Cup, presented by the Columbus Blue Jackets and Accelerate Ohio, was established in 2002 as a post season tournament for the high school varsity and club teams in the greater Columbus area. In 2005, the tournament was expanded to include a junior varsity high school level. This annual end-of-season event holds three separate tournaments for the Varsity, Club and Junior Varsity high school hockey divisions. All three division's championship teams have their school name engraved on the base of the Blue Jackets Cup trophy. The Cup is then put on display in Nationwide Arena for Blue Jackets fans to see throughout the year.

The Club Division tournament takes place at the conclusion of the GCHSCHL regular season. Titled the Blue Jackets Cup GCHSCHL Championship Tournament, all seven GCHSCHL teams take part in this double elimination tournament. Teams participating include Athens, Hilliard/Southwest, Newark, Northeast, Olentangy, PRPC (Pickerington/Reynoldsburg/Pataskala/Canal Winchester), and Westerville. The Blue Jackets Cup GCHSCHL Championship Tournament has brought a different element to the GCHSCHL. It continues to bring out some of the best hockey in the league and has proven to be an exciting playoff format for the GCHSCHL.

The Varsity Division tournament takes place prior to the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) State tournament. All seven Columbus area varsity high school teams playing in the Capitol Hockey Conference (CHC) take part in this single elimination tournament. Teams participating included GCHSCHL Alumni Dublin Coffman, Dublin Jerome, Dublin Scioto, Gahanna Lincoln, Olentangy Liberty and St. Charles, along with St. Francis DeSales, Thomas Worthington, Upper Arlington, and Worthington Kilbourne.

The Junior Varsity Division tournament takes place at the conclusion of the Capitol Hockey Conference Junior Varsity (CHCJV) regular season. This tournament pits Junior Varsity teams fed by both the GCHSCHL and CHC in a double elimination tournament. Teams participating include GCHSCHL fed junior varsity programs Athens, Hilliard/Southwest, Newark, Northeast, Olentangy, PRPC (Pickerington/Reynoldsburg/Pataskala/Canal Winchester) Prowlers, and Westerville, along with CHC fed junior varsity programs Dublin (Green and White), Gahanna, St. Charles, St. Francis DeSales, Upper Arlington and Worthington along with the independent Troy Bruins JV club.
