I'd say common but not always. Windsor still gets called out about their cafaw. London was but not so much now. Mississauga lost in the OHL finals so they got a pass .Is it this common for a backdoor OHL Memorial cup team to be so hated by everyone else in the league.
I have reaons, just want to check.
I think too many fans can't seperate the Cup and league championship. The league winner is like winning the Stanley Cup. Takes 16 wins to get there and is a huge accomplishment. The memorial Cup is a seperate event. If the NHL winner, KHL winner and the Swedish elite league winner played a year end tournament with a host team it would be the same style.
There has to be a host team. It takes over a year to put it together. There really is no other way.
Be proud of your team and city and enjoy hosting.
