History
The Coronation Cup was first contested in 1937, with all games taking place at Crossmyloof Ice Rink. The tournament was then played at Perth's Central Scotland Ice Rink in 1938 and 1939.
The tournament's fate between 1946 and 1948 is currently unknown. It was awarded to the Scottish National League regular season winner from at least 1948-49 to 1951-52.
