===Junior A National Championship===
== Players ==
The National Junior A Championship, known as the [[Centennial Cup]] and formerly as the Royal Bank Cup or RBC Cup, is the postseason tournament for the Canadian national championship for Junior A hockey teams that are members of the [[Canadian Junior Hockey League]]. The tournament consists of the regional Junior A champions and a previously selected host team. Since 1990, the national championship has used a five-team tournament format when the regional qualifiers were designated as the [[ANAVET Cup]] (Western), [[Doyle Cup]] (Pacific), [[Dudley Hewitt Cup]] (Central), and [[Fred Page Cup]] (Eastern). From 2013 to 2017, the qualifiers were the [[Dudley Hewitt Cup]] (Central), [[Fred Page Cup]] (Eastern), and the [[Western Canada Cup]] champions and runners-up.
 
The tournament begins with round-robin play between the five teams followed by the top four teams playing a semifinal game, with the top seed facing the fourth seed and the second facing the third. The winners of the semifinals then face each other in final game for the national championship. In some years, the losers of the semifinal games face each other for a third place game.
===Franchise scoring leaders===
These are the top-ten point-scorers in franchise history. Figures are updated after each completed AJHL regular season.
