The 1994 Memorial Cup Tournament was played in Laval, Quebec and the four participating teams where the host Titan, the North Bay Centennials, the Kamloops Blazers and the Chicoutimi Sagueneens. The Sagueneens defeated Laval Titan in six games to win the President's Cup and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League title. The Titan finished in first place overall in the QMJHL's final regular season standings and advanced to the league final. The Western Hockey League's representatives for the second time in three years were the Kamloops Blazers. The Blazers defeated the Saskatoon Blades in seven games. The North Bay Centennials defeated the Detroit Junior Red Wings in seven games to win the Ontario Hockey League title and the J. Ross Robertson Cup. In round robin play the Blazers were a perfect 3-0 and clinched a berth in the final. The Sagueneens finished the round robin with a 2-1 record defeating the 1-2 Titan. 4-2 in the semifinal. In the final Kamloop Blazers defeated the Titan 5-3 to win their second Memorial Cup title. The Memorial Cup was originally known as the OHA Memorial Cup and was donated by the Ontario Hockey Association in March, 1919. Initially the Cup was awarded to the national junior hockey champions of Canada. Later on it came to signify Junior 'A' hockey supremacy when in 1934, junior hockey in Canada was divided into 'A' and 'B' classifications. In 1971, junior 'A' hockey was divided once again to form a major junior and a Tier 'II' level. The Memorial Cup was awarded to the higher category. In 1972, a round-robin tournament format replaced the old play-down system to determine the champions. Since then, the champions of the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), along with a host club, have met each spring in a round-robin series with the two top teams playing off in a sudden-death game to determine the Cup champions.
