Moncton Wildcats Decline to Bid for 2025 Memorial Cup

Moncton Wildcats News Release
Moncton, N.B. - While our organization was deeply committed to bidding on the 2025 Memorial Cup, we have made the decision to forego submitting a bid at this time. Realizing that a major junior hockey team in the province of Quebec has not hosted this national championship in the past 10 years, the chance of winning the competitive bid is very unlikely.
We recognize that the Canadian Hockey League wants to ensure various member provinces get to host the Memorial Cup, but we know that our organization, community, and province would have submitted an outstanding bid and organized an exceptional event.
We are disappointed we won't have the chance to bring the 2025 championship to our fans and community.
Without a reasonable chance of being selected, the Moncton Wildcats cannot commit the time, effort, and resources required to prepare this extensive bid.
