The 102nd Memorial Cup Tournament will take place at TD Station in Saint John, New Brunswick. The tournament consists of a four-team, round robin tournament consisting of the Championship winners of the Canadian Hockey League's member leagues. The leagues include the champions of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), and the Western Hockey League (WHL). The fourth team, the host team, rotates yearly between all three leagues.
The 2022 Memorial Cup will be hosted by the Saint John Sea Dogs of the QMJHL. Joining Saint John will be the Shawinigan Cataractes (QMJHL), Hamilton Bulldogs (OHL), and the Edmonton Oil Kings (WHL).
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this will be the second consecutive hosted Memorial Cup tournament hosted by a team from the QMJHL. The Kelowna Rockets (WHL) and either the Oshawa Generals/Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds (OHL) would have hosted the 2020 and 2021 Memorial Cup Tournaments, but both tournaments were cancelled due to the pandemic. To keep in line with the league rotation, the Sea Dogs/QMJHL were given the hosting rights.
