Memorial Cup Round Robin


After knocking off Calgary I think everyone felt Kelowna were the favorites to win the Memorial Cup but who would have known it was going to be this easy.
It's always tough to win a 4-team 1 week tournament as anything can happen but the 3 teams from the East don't appear that strong.
There are probably 5 or 6 other WHL teams that could have won this thing this year.
If Kelowna doesn't win the cup it will be a huge upset.
With Spokane winning in the OHL last year and Kelowna on their way to winning in the QMJHL is there any doubt to the best junior league in the CHL.
Next year it's in Brandon and with 2 of the 4 teams from the Dub, the WHL could be on their way to winning 4 in a row.
