2017 Memorial Cup: TV schedule, start times and scores

The 2017 Memorial Cup begins Friday with the round robin round in Windsor, Ontario. One game is played per day and the six round robin games run from May 19-24. Thursday, May 25 is set aside for a tiebreak game, if necessary to settle which team is knocked out of the first round. If no tiebreaker is required, the day will serve as an off day.

This year’s major junior tournament features the host Windsor Spitfires, Ontario League champion Erie Otters, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion Saint John Sea Dogs and Western Hockey League champion Seattle Thunderbirds.

It’s the first time since 2007 that two U.S. teams will play in the tournament. Neither Erie nor Seattle have won the tournament, but Saint John and Windsor have. The Spitfires won in back-to-back years in 2009 and 2010 while the Sea Dogs captured the championship the following year.

The Chicago Blackhawks will have four prospects competing in the tournament: Alex DeBrincat (Erie), Matthew Highmore and Nathan Noel (Saint John) and Graham Knott (Windsor).
