The Memorial Cup is a junior ice hockey club championship trophy awarded annually to the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) champion. It is awarded following a four-team, round robin tournament between a host team and the champions of the CHL's three member leagues: the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and Western Hockey League (WHL). Sixty teams are eligible to compete for the Memorial Cup, representing nine provinces and five American states. The Saint John Sea Dogs are the current champions, defeating the hosting Mississauga St. Michael's Majors 3-1 in the 2011 championship final on May 29, 2011. - Source: Wikipedia
