2016 Memorial Cup

The 2016 Memorial Cup (branded as the 2016 Mastercard Memorial Cup for sponsorship reasons) was a four-team, round-robin format tournament that took place at the ENMAX Centrium in Red Deer, from May 20–29, 2016. It was the 98th Memorial Cup championship and determined the champion of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL). The tournament was hosted by the Red Deer Rebels, who won the right to host the tournament over a bid by the Vancouver Giants.[1] Other teams participating were the WHL champion Brandon Wheat Kings, the OHL champion London Knights, and the QMJHL champion Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. The tournament ended with the London Knights winning their second Memorial Cup, defeating the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 3–2 in overtime in the championship final. The Knights won 17 consecutive games to take the title, dating back to the second round of the OHL playoffs.

Red Deer was the first city in Alberta to host since 1974, and the Rebels were therefore the first Albertan host team since the tournament adopted its current format in 1983. All games were televised in Canada on Sportsnet and TVA Sports. The NHL Network televised the games in the United States.

Mitch Marner lifts the Memorial Cup over his head following the London Knights' victory.
