I'd love for the Lethbridge to get the Mem Cup, but I think for team sake, it will probably head to Med Hat and I can't disagree with that. Would be nice to see that new arena full and bumping again like the old Arena

Yeah, I spent quite a bit of my youth at the old Arena in Medicine Hat and was spoiled by some very good Tigers team throughout the years. Not to say I'm an old man, but I saw both Lanny McDonald and Tom Lysiak when I was a young kid playing for the Tigers at the Arena.
Fast forward to today and I see there were a little over 4800 fans at Co-Op Place on Saturday night. That's a good crowd and if the team is as good as advertised, I wouldn't be surprised to see crowds in excess of 5K becoming commonplace.
