This is unprecedented as far as I can remember.

Releasing the groups this far in advance is a little suspect though depending on how Alberta gets to award the second spot. If it is the 2 finalists in their provincials, you get the problem of having the two teams kinda 'pick' what group they want to play in (this was touched on earlier).

We had the same thing happen this year in the BCs - remember the Jackson Cup final stuff?

Without more info forthcoming, I think the fair way to resolve this issue would be to have a draw after the Alberta provincials. The first name drawn would be seeded as Alberta 1 and the second team would be Alberta 2.
