2012 Memorial Cup

The 2012 Mastercard Memorial Cup was a four-team, round-robin format ice hockey tournament played from May 18–27, 2012 in Shawinigan, Quebec. The tournament featured the London Knights, champions of the Ontario Hockey League, the Saint John Sea Dogs, champions of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, the Edmonton Oil Kings, champions of the Western Hockey League, and the Shawinigan Cataractes, who won the right to host the tournament over bids by the Saint John Sea Dogs, Halifax Mooseheads and Cape Breton Screaming Eagles.
On May 27, the Shawinigan Cataractes defeated the London Knights 2–1 in overtime to win the Memorial Cup, becoming the 2nd team after the 2009 Windsor Spitfires to win the Memorial Cup after playing in the tiebreaker game.
