The team will look to build on its previous work from a bid on the 2021 tournament that was eventually cancelled due to COVID-19
After not getting a chance to go through the full process the first time, the current ownership and management of the Soo Greyhounds made it clear that it wasn’t going to be the only time they would bid on the rights to host the Memorial Cup.
From a financial standpoint, Lukenda said the team and the city would be in a good position to make things work. The Greyhounds are one of four teams who submitted their intent to bid on the tournament, the others being the Kingston Frontenacs, the Niagara IceDogs, and Saginaw Spirit. With previous experience putting together a bid to host the event, Lukenda said the team can build on the earlier bid and will circle back to it as the team looks for support from the community during the process.
As for the on-ice product, Greyhounds general manager Kyle Raftis said the decision to bid on hosting the tournament next season doesn’t have a major impact on how the team will approach the remainder of the 2022-23 season.
