Canadian junior men's ice hockey championship
The 2004 Memorial Cup (branded as the 2004
Mastercard Memorial Cup for sponsorship reasons) occurred May 15–23 at
Prospera Place in
Kelowna,
British Columbia. It was the 86th annual
Memorial Cup competition and determined the
major junior ice hockey champion of the
Canadian Hockey League (CHL). It featured the host team, the
Kelowna Rockets as well as the winners of the
Ontario Hockey League,
Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the
Western Hockey League which were the
Guelph Storm,
Gatineau Olympiques and the
Medicine Hat Tigers respectively. The Kelowna Rockets would be the eventual winners, and would become only the fourth host team to win without winning their league as well. (The first time was in
1983, when the
Portland Winter Hawks won it, the second was in
1993 when the
Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds won it, and the third was in
1999 when the
Ottawa 67's won it.) Kelowna defeated the Olympiques who made their second straight Memorial Cup final, but as with
2003, the 'Piques came up short. Kelowna also participated in the 2003 tournament as WHL champions but did not advance to the final, and would participate as WHL champions in the
2005 Memorial Cup as well.
