After 10 days of celebrations surrounding the Memorial Cup, the hosting city of Rimouski has returned to its day to day activities.

But this event has left behind a great legacy, according to the CEO of the organizing committee, Chantal Pilon. "With the good visibility that has arisen following the Cup, local businesses will benefit from these benefits in future years, for sure," she says.

(...) We also talked about the extensively renovated Colisee,  the new scoreboard and improved ice rink cooling system. The organizing committee members expect they will have removed all installations within a week

"With 600 volunteers, Rimouski has developed special expertise for the tournament," says Pilon.
