What if the team who just won the Memorial Cup hosted the following season? I know they’d be a huge underdog after losing guys, but wouldn’t that be a great reward for building the top junior team in hockey?
The Moncton Wildcats introduced RJ Irving as the team’s new president, succeeding his father, Robert K. Irving. The transition reinforces the long-term stability of one of Canada’s premier major junior hockey franchises.

It takes a mature and smart kid like Hunter to realize they don’t need to be tied up for 4 years by 1 NHL team who have no contract to offer them.
Now 31 other NHL teams will have the chance to sign Hunter after he has a killer 20-year-old year.

That’s a wrap on another Memorial Cup on @TSN_Sports. Kelowna was beautiful as a host city. Congrats to the @OHLRangers on their third Memorial Cup. In the three years I’ve done this tournament that’s the best team I’ve seen. Thanks to all that tuned in!
