The Memorial Cup has been called one of the hardest Championships in all of North American sports to win because you only have a 5 year span in your life in which you are eligible.
3 teams have gone through 4 playoff rounds to win their league championship and now they plus this years host team must battle for the top prize in Canadian Major Junior Hockey...... the Memorial Cup.
In this round robin opener we have the host Brandon Wheat Kings from the WHL up against the back to back OHL Champions and the defending Memorial Cup Champions the Windsor Spitfires.

This game wasn't Hayes's fault, he worked his ass off. His D was shitty, and against the crazy-good Spits offence, they were fucked.
