The 2022 Memorial Cup begins one week from tonight.

Next Monday, the host Saint John Sea Dogs will face the Ontario Hockey League champion in the tournament's opening game. The contest will be Saint John's first since being eliminated in the opening round of the President Cup playoffs back on May 12.

Saint John's opponent could be determined as early as this evening. The Hamilton Bulldogs currently lead the OHL final 3-2 over the Windsor Spitfires. Game 6 takes place this evening in Windsor. A Game 7, if needed, would be Wednesday night in Hamilton.

The Western Hockey League representative could be determined tonight as well. The Edmonton Oil Kings carry a 3-2 lead heading into tonight's Game 6 against the Seattle Thunderbirds.
