The Canadian Olympic Committee selected the Winnipeg Hockey Club as the 1931 Allan Cup champions to represent Canada. Claude C. Robinson was chosen to oversee finances for the team, while W. A. Hewitt was named honorary manager. After the Winnipeg Hockey Club won the gold medal at the Olympics, Hewitt sought for future Canadian national teams at the Olympics to be the reigning Allan Cup champion team, strengthened with six additional players.[1]

Some athletes (but not all) entered in both the cross-country skiing and Nordic combined event, their time on the 18 km was used for both events.
