The CHL cancelled its playoffs and the Memorial Cup on March 23, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in North America. Since the 2021 and 2022 editions are to be hosted by the Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League respectively, Kelowna cannot host the tournament until 2023 at the earliest.[2]
