Champions
=Playdown Era=
Bolded are Cyclone Taylor Cup champions. Italics represents runner-up.
After the implementation of the round robin during the 2003-04 season, (Rep) denotes a league runner-up that gained access to the tournament because their league champion was also the tournament host.
Prior to the 2003-04 season, the hosting duties were rotated through the three leagues, with the champions from the other two leagues playing off for the right to meet the host league's champion. The winner would then face the host league's champion in a best-of-three series for the Cyclone Taylor Cup, played over one weekend.
