Windsor wins 2017 Mem Cup bid
Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League will play host to the 2017 Memorial Cup tournament.
The confirmation was made at a press conference this morning.
In what will be the 99th edition of the Memorial Cup tournament will take place May 18-28 at the WFCU Centre in Windsor featuring the host Spitfires along with the champions of the OHL, the Western Hockey League and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
The prestigious national championship returns to Windsor for the first time since 1981 when the erstwhile Cornwall Royals won the coveted cup.
I knew Windsor was gonna get the 2017 MasterCard Memorial Cup because they were the only team mentioned. Everyone else is bidding for the 100th next year…
