The 2012 MasterCard Memorial Cup begins this Friday, and four extremely competitive teams will battle for Canada's greatest prize again this year, as usual. Qualifying for a chance to compete for glory were the WHL Champions, the Edmonton Oil Kings, the OHL Champions, the London Knights, back-to-back QMJHL Champs and defending Memorial Cup Champions, the Saint John Sea Dogs, and the host team from the Q, Shawinigan Cataractes.Now, the Memorial Cup's televised games have always garnered a huge following north of the border, but many hockey fans that reside in cities outside of junior hockey territory often find themselves somewhat disinterested as a result of no rooting interests. Well, the Hart of Hockey has compiled a list of all the players on every Memorial Cup team's roster that shows every player who belongs to an NHL team, as well as every player who is draft eligible for the first time.
Take a look and see if your team has any prospects invested in winning a Memorial Cup this year and see this summer's draftees try to further prove to scouts why they deserve to be wearing an NHL sweater competing for a different Cup some day...
