So for myself as a hockey fan this was a once in a lifetime experience. I was one of 876 volunteers, I got to meet people from British Columbia to Quebec . Media , Ohl officials, team mangerment and some players. And to see the best players in the Chl compete for this trophy. I received nothing but positive comments on our great lakes Bay region. And not to mention all the great fans I talked to from so many different teams.

The Memorial Cup was a once in a lifetime experience for everyone associated with the Saginaw Spirit. The team, the team staff, the business staff, corporate sponsors, and fans. I personally met many great fans from all of the participating teams as well as fans from other OHL, QMJHL, and WHL teams that came to the tournament. The icing on the cake for us here in Saginaw and the region was a Memorial Cup championship. But, being the greedy fan that I am, I now want to see Saginaw win an OHL championship so I have the opportunity to travel to a Memorial Cup and watch the team I am a fan of play in the tournament away from home.

Sault Ste. Marie needs to build a few more big hotels and we too can win a Memorial Cup, just like in 1993. G'bye Dave Branch....finally!
