The Memorial Cup has a rich tradition that has shaped the way junior hockey is played in North America. The trophy was originally known as the OHA Memorial Cup and was donated by the Ontario Hockey Association in March, 1919, in remembrance of the many soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice for Canada in the First Wold War. In 2010 the Memorial Cup was rededicated to the memory of all fallen Canadian Military Personnel. The Memorial Cup has been presented 101 times including 2018 as part of a centennial celebration in Regina, followed by 2019 in Halifax when it was won by the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies.

The 2020 Memorial Cup Presented by Kia was scheduled to take place May 21-31 in Kelowna, B.C., supported by Kia Canada and associate sponsors which include CIBC, Real Canadian Superstore, Cooper Tires, and Kubota Canada.
