Tonight, the puck drops to open the 101st Memorial Cup tournament to crown the national major junior hockey champion. Halifax, Nova Scotia is the setting and two Toronto Maple Leafs prospects - Ian Scott & Fedor Gordeev - highlight an event studded with top prospects and draft picks.
Where, when, how to watch
The tournament takes place at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, home of the QMJHL Halifax Mooseheads. Yes, it’s another arena named after Scotiabank, they’re a scourge on arena names, just like Rogers.
There are still tickets available if you’re out east or can make the trip.
