Rumours have swirled for a few years that Sportsnet wants to jazz up the Memorial Cup for the tournament's 100th anniversary. The most common is a "March Madness" style tournament with a bracket made up of teams playing one off games to get to the finals. The individual league championships would still be played as normal, though no comments are made as to what will happen for the champions.
I, however, am full of ideas.
So, we have the bracket Idea. 16 teams is a nice, or, if you will, sweet number.
