Pats Looking to Buff Some Shine Into Dirty “Host Team” Label at Memorial Cup

By Les Lazaruk May 18, 2018 | 1:39 PM

There has been a very polarizing topic at every Memorial Cup since 1984…the participation of a host team.

The C-H-L and its member leagues and teams love it. And, except in the host city, the fans hate it!! Especially when the host team is perceived as being vastly inferior to the three league champions! That is the case this year with the Regina Pats…and was the case with the 2013 Saskatoon Blades…both of whom were bounced out of the W-H-L playoffs in the first round. For Regina forward and Saskatoon product Jake Leschyshyn, he has the benefit of knowing someone very well from the 2013 Blades…his father, former N-H-L defenceman and 2013 Blades assistant coach Curtis Leschyshyn. Jake Leschyshyn and the Pats will try to prove they belong, starting Friday night as they host the Ontario League-champion Hamilton Bulldogs in the tournament opener.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
