The wait is almost over

Wednesday is the big day.

The Canadian Hockey League is expected to announce the host of the 2022 Memorial Cup at 10:30 a.m. Atlantic via news release. Both the winning and losing organizations will hold press conferences later in the afternoon.

The Saint John Sea Dogs and Quebec Remparts were the only teams to submit bids.

The Sea Dogs have never hosted the event but came close in 2012, falling short to the Shawinigan Cataractes. They would become just the third Maritime host city of the prestigious event (Halifax 2000 and 2019 and Moncton 2006).

The Remparts previously hosted the event in 2003 and 2015 in their old home, the Colisee Pepsi.

The Telegraph-Journal (paywall) has a good breakdown of Saint John's bid.

It shouldn't be a stressful morning at all! Enjoy everybody.
