Those who thought that it was a given that Estevan would still get the tournament in 2022 were taking things for granted. Penticton, B.C., which was supposed to host nationals in 2021, thought they should become the hosts in 2022. After all, they didn’t get to host the tournament in 2021 through no fault of their own. And Portage La Prairie, Man., never had their chance to host the 2020 tournament, either, thanks to a pandemic. But if the Bruins didn’t host the tournament in 2022, then another team would have been punished for something that wasn’t their fault. Of course, I’ll say that Hockey Canada made the right call, but the good folks in Penticton will say that Hockey Canada erred.
