Was Mastercard, then Kia, now Dow, and next year it will something different. Just the nature of sponsorships.Yeah it is definitely odd that they advertised the event as Kia at first though, no?
I think this is what @SSMHoundsFan is alluding too.

The only context that needed to be added was that Dow sponsors everything in the area. I called this before Saginaw even got the bid. It was always going to be the case. They just chose to announce it right before the season opening up is all.What? The nature of sponsorships?
Mastercard sponsored the Memorial Cup for 20 years.
Not one single host team has ever had their own sponsor.
I'm not saying good or bad here just simply applying context to his post above and why maybe he feels that way.

Maybe their contract was up or maybe it was on a one-year renewal. The Dow sponsorship is only a one year deal and while it sounds like they'll have the option to renew, I'm thinking this is a one and done situation and it will be back to Kia or whomever else next year. Dow sponsors a LPGA Tournament, a tennis tournament (that recently had both Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff), has a NASCAR car and now is venturing into hockey. The other two tournaments are in the region which is why I think this is one and done but the Nascar sponsorship makes me wonder if they could be more long-term with the Memorial Cup.curious why Kia backed out....I guess money talks..
Good for T-bone and hopefully he can stay healthy in rookie season. His Dad told me a couple of years ago the Red Wings were impressed with when he attended their rookie camp, so must have also impressed the Ducks this season. This will now settle the over age spots on the roster.

Score by committee seems to always be what Lazary goes for. During the last run Tippett should have been “the” guy but IDK if he was. If I had to pick a guy for this year, I’d take Haight.Finally decided to cave in and make an account here after lurking for years.
I really like what I saw from Saginaw over the weekend. The loss to Kitchener stung, especially with the way that last goal went in, but it was a nice bounce back against Sarnia.
-Special Teams looks great, especially the penalty kill
-Oke played well both games, I think we stick with him for the season
-I felt Saginaw had sustained pressure in both games as well.
-Loved the move from Cloutier on his goal against Sarnia,
-All this considering we had a good chunk of players at camp who just came back this week.
One of the things that I need to know right know, is who is going to step up to take over a game when we need to. I think Saginaw is incredibly balanced on offence, but I would really like to see someone who is going to lead the charge on offense. I'm not quite sure if that's going to be Sapovaliv, or Willis, or Misa, but I would really like to see someone be "that guy".
Can't wait for the rematch with Kitchener on Saturday.
Sapovaliv and Misa with Haight should be one Hell of a committee. Maybe he doesn’t lead the league in scoring but I’d consider Sapovaliv to possibly be the premiere C in the league this year. Such a well-rounded game.Score by committee seems to always be what Lazary goes for. During the last run Tippett should have been “the” guy but IDK if he was. If I had to pick a guy for this year, I’d take Haight.
Seems like a solid tandem.
Like this pick up. Really don’t care about his numbers. Erie still isn’t great. Solidifies the back up position. Oke might go off to WJC again so he can handle the load during that time.
How are you going to know?Will be interesting to see what they say behind closed doors to Oke...
Won't know...was more curiosity or a figure of speech...felt the same way with T-Bone being the odd-man out with the OA's this year and how the team would keep him motivated but he obviously handled his own business getting signed.How are you going to know?
