Sherbrooke will pick 5th in the draft ... but Chic got first overall. Two yrs in a row that 16th won the lottery. So that completes the trade for Gabrielle Sylvestre. Sylvestre for 5th overall, 32nd overall and a 2017 5th. |

Quebec's 1st went to Shawinigan for Sylvestre, Oops my bad. Forgot which pick went with which player. So Anderson Macdonald for 5th overall 2018, Moncton 1st 2019, and Jeremy Jaques |

I can’t think of anything those two players have in common ... Samson was a hard working, smallish grinder who developed into a scoring star as he got older ... MacDonald is a big bodied sniper with questionable work ethic ... |

Let me preface this by saying I agree with *most* of what you're saying and I'm beyond relieved that Moncton was not awarded the tournament, however... What metric are you using to determine that Halifax hosted the most successful Memorial Cup to date? It can't be attendance since Vancouver averaged 13,507 in 2007. Also where on earth are you getting that the 2006 Memorial Cup wasn't well attended? Every game was packed aside from the tiebreaker game and that's only because it started at 4 or 5 on a Thursday. I had friends from out of town that could only get standing room tickets for the tournament. Complete load of BS to say the tournament wasn't well attended. We don't compete against WHL or OHL teams to host. What I meant was .. of the Q teams ... Halifax put on the most successful tournament. We had about 6500 (+/-) seats and couldn't sell it out ... that's poorly attended for an event of this size. It was disappointing. When the average attendance was 6900 I really have zero idea how you can claim an event to be poorly attended. mastercardmemorialcup.ca/schedule/4There was also the party zone in the agrena that had additional tickets sold for people to watch on a big screen and the place was packed. This was a huge hit, I couldnt disagree with you more. I can't remember a single person being disappointed with the Memorial Cup in Moncton. Sportsnet Commentators have even mentioned on air how great the event in Moncton was in games that don't even involve Moncton and it was 12 years ago. The coliseum has never seen the likes of the fandom that occured in 2006. You must be thinking of something else. |

Samson was a hard working, smallish grinder who developed into a scoring star as he got older ... MacDonald is a big bodied sniper with questionable work ethic ... The comparison is for a 3rd-year point spike. They both have an incredible shot and were highly touted 17-year-olds. It's like the Winnipeg Jets hoping Kyle Connor breaks out next year like Matthew Barzal did this year..different players (Connor a shooter, Barzal a playmaker), but hoping for a similar breakout. Not in style of play, but production. 17-year-old seasons: Samson 62 20 32 52 Macdonald 58 27 18 45 Very comparable numbers. Samson broke out for 71 44 55 99 the following year. It would be nice if MacDonald would spike in his third year as well. |

We were STH 2006 and bought the complete MEM Cup package, President Cup playoffs along with our seasons ticket prices . Wasn’t a cheap year for hockey but well worth every cent, I thought attendance was high and do remember that party spot, quaffed a few beers. From what I understand people bought that year’s season tickets to secure seats for MEM Cup but the following season STH attendance was down as many didn’t renew. I still have a nylon jacket I bought along with commemorative puck and golf balls. It was a fun time and very good hockey.

Well..STH attendance was "down" as in..yes it was obviously lower than the attendance the year before which was an astronomical 5800 per game. But it was still higher than every single since season at 4747. So I wouldn't exactly say it was down when comparing to other seasons. Are you cheering for the Cats to win against Blainville or hoping for them to end this horrible misery? |

Either way, it was still both their 2nd years in the Q. Samson broke out in year 3 and I'm hoping for MacDonald to do the same. |

Moncton did pretty good back in 2006. Didn't sell out every game but were close. mastercardmemorialcup.ca/schedule/4Halifax sold out every game but one, which was the OHL vs WHL matchup. mastercardmemorialcup.ca/schedule/21Shawingan was disappointing. Less than 80% capacity for some games. mastercardmemorialcup.ca/schedule/41The worst had to be Quebec city though. 15,300 seat rink, and didn't crack 7000 for two games. mastercardmemorialcup.ca/schedule/51It seems to be a theme in bigger arenas that it doesn't sell out. Bobby Smith has said the tickets for next year won't be as expensive as more recent tournaments. Could be just marketing speak, but hopefully they pick a price point that allows us to sell out every game. Looks much better. It's a lot harder to sell out a 15,000 rink than a 6,500 seat one...especially when the home team is not playing... |
