Memorial Cup announcement delayed again

It doesn't appear the Canadian Hockey League will be announcing the host of the 2022 Memorial Cup this week.

The announcement was originally planned for the week of Sept. 6 but was pushed to this week. According to Kevin Dube of le Journal de Quebec, the announcement has been pushed forward yet another week.
Only two teams submitted bids: the Saint John Sea Dogs and the Quebec Remparts.

If Saint John wins, it will be the first time the city has hosted the event - but it will be the second consecutive time a Maritime team has hosted during the QMJHL's turn in the three-league rotation. The Remparts most recently hosted in 2015 in their old home, the Colisee Pepsi.

The tournament has not been played since 2019 in Halifax due to the pandemic.

The 2022 tournament will be held a little later than usual, currently scheduled for June 2-12.
