The Memorial Cup returns to the ice today after an absence of two years. The annual championship of the Canadian Hockey League pits the host team against the winners of the OHL, WHL and QMJHL playoffs.
The Saint John Sea Dogs of the QMJHL host this year and they will play the Shawinigan Cataractes, the Hamilton Bulldogs and the Edmonton Oil Kings.
The Shawinigan Cataractes (French for waterfall) use a racist logo depicting a cartoonishly ahistorical indigenous person. A far more important problem than their logo are the barriers to hockey for indigenous kids in all of Canada.
