The Memorial Cup Bracket has the host city (Kamaloops), WHL Winner, OHL Winner and QMJHL Winner. That is 4 teams.

As I understand it based on what knowledgeable people have said, if Kamloops beats Seattle in the WCF (bit of a longshot, I know) then whoever comes out of the ECF, either Winnipeg or Saskatoon, automatically gets a berth in the Memorial Cup because Kamloops already has their ticket punched as the host.
So I'll definitely be cheering on the Blazers as well as the ICE
EDIT: Maybe a Kamloops win is not as much of a longshot as I thought? I checked, and the Blazers went 2-1-1 against Seattle in the regular season. Winnipeg fans are pretty fortunate... to put it in perspective, this is Saskatoon's first trip to the conference finals since 1994. This is the ICE's second season in a row making it that far.
