For the first time in the 104-year history of the Memorial Cup, Michigan will host the championship of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) in 2024.
Saginaw was selected on Wednesday afternoon ahead of Ontario Hockey League (OHL) bids from the Niagara IceDogs, Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, and Kingston Canadiens.
“We are thrilled to bring the Memorial Cup to the state of Michigan for the first time in the event’s history,” CHL president Dan MacKenzie said. “The Spirit and City of Saginaw submitted a remarkable bid and we have no doubt that they will do an outstanding job of hosting our CHL championship next year.
