Kitchener Rangers and Guelph Storm Both Finalists to Host 2027 OHL Memorial Cup
The Canadian Hockey League's site selection committee will decide between Kitchener Rangers and Guelph Storm to host the 2027 Memorial Cup, with a decision expected by early December 2025.
- The Canadian Hockey League named the Kitchener Rangers and Guelph Storm as finalists to host the 2027 Memorial Cup, the CHL announced Thursday.
- The 2027 Memorial Cup Site Selection Committee determined finalists will submit formal written bids evaluated across four categories, with a decision expected between late November and early December 2025, the CHL said.
- Kitchener has hosted the tournament four times and the Kitchener Rangers have won the Memorial Cup twice, while Guelph hosted in 2002 and the Guelph Storm have appeared six times without winning.
- Because the Memorial Cup comprises CHL league champions plus a host team, the host team receives an automatic entry, and if that host wins its Ontario Hockey League title, the other OHL finalist also qualifies.
- The Memorial Cup is the top prize in Canadian junior hockey, returning to Southwestern Ontario where CHL president Dan MacKenzie praised both communities' devoted fan bases and tradition.
