Photos: Sea Dogs championship parade

SAINT JOHN - 2022 Memorial Cup festivities ended with a championship parade on Thursday afternoon in Saint John.

The Memorial Cup champions Saint John Sea Dogs paraded down King Street before making the turn down Water Street en route to Area 506 Waterfront Container Village stage. Once at the stage, brief speeches were made by Scott McCain, Gardiner MacDougall, Trevor Georgie, Mark-Anthony Ashfield, Vincent Sevigny and William Dufour.

The Sea Dogs held a similar parade in 2011 when the team won its first Memorial Cup championship. That year, the parade ended at the Market Square stage where speeches were made.

There was once again a great turnout and, like (most of) the Cup Arrival parade, the rain held off.

The highlight of the day was likely this short speech from Dufour. "Holy f-ck we're champions," said the Memorial Cup MVP.
