Tigers fans are encouraged to send off our WHL Champs in style this morning as the team bus travels to the Calgary Airport as the team is off to Rimouski Que. this morning to participate in the 105th Memorial Cup Championship.

Fans are asked to bring signs, noisemakers and their team spirit and meet at Co-op Place at 8:00 a.m. today as the team departs the arena.

Additionally fans are encouraged to line the street along the team bus route to show their pride.

The bus route throughout the city will not be lengthy and will begin at Co-op Place and will travel along Box Springs Boulevard before turning on Boundary Road towards Highway No. 1.

Previously the Medicine Hat Police Service, Medicine Hat Fire and Emergency Service, as well as HAL Air Ambulance have led ceremonial escorts for the team bus during the third and fourth round of the WHL playoffs as the Tigers travelled to both Lethbridge and Spokane.

A full map of the route can be found on the Medicine Hat Police Service’s Facebook page.
