The 2026 Memorial Cup begins on Friday, May 22nd.
After a long CHL season, the 2026 Memorial Cup is finally here. Two Vancouver Canucks prospects will be headed to the tournament, which starts in Kelowna on May 22nd. Those two prospects are Parker Alcos and Gabriel Chiarot.
Starting with Alcos, he will be playing for the host team, the Kelowna Rockets. The 19-year-old was traded to Kelowna mid-season and put up 16 points in 32 regular-season games with the Rockets. Alcos would add four assists in nine post-season games, as Kelowna was eliminated from the WHL playoffs in the second round.
As for Chiarot, he is part of the OHL champions, the Kitchener Rangers. Like Alcos, the 19-year-old was traded during the season and finished with 11 points in 31 games for the Rangers. Chiarot found his scoring touch in the post-season, as he finished with 11 points in 18 playoff games for Kitchener.
Canucks fans will not need to wait long to see Alcos and Chiarot go head-to-head, as the Rangers take on the Rockets in the first game of the tournament.
