Notes

The longest drought in CHL history belongs to the Saskatoon Blades, who have never won the WHL title or Memorial Cup since their founding in 1966. Historically, the longest drought belonged to the London Knights, who went 40 years between their founding in 1965 and their first OHL title and Memorial Cup in 2005. The Blades passed their mark by failing to win in 2005-06. The longest drought among teams who have won their league title but never the Memorial Cup belongs to the Brandon Wheat Kings, who have won three WHL titles but never the Memorial Cup since their founding in 1968. There is only one CHL team that has won the Memorial Cup but never their own league - the Québec Remparts, who re-joined the QMJHL in 1997 and won the 2006 Memorial Cup as QMJHL runners-up to champion and tournament host Moncton. The longest drought among teams who have won their league before belongs to the Regina Pats, who have not won the WHL title since 1980. The longest Memorial Cup drought among teams who have won the Memorial Cup before belongs to the Peterborough Petes, whose only Memorial Cup title came in 1979.
