The 1991 Memorial Cup occurred May 11–19 at the Colisée de Québec in Quebec City, Quebec. Participating teams were the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion Chicoutimi Saguenéens and runner-up Drummondville Voltigeurs, as well as the winners of the Ontario Hockey League and Western Hockey League which were the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and Spokane Chiefs. The original host team, the Beauport Harfangs, dropped out after losing in the QMJHL playoffs. Spokane, led by the high-scoring duo of Pat Falloon and Ray Whitney, dominated the tournament and won their first Memorial Cup, defeating Drummondville 5-1 in the final game. The Spokane Chiefs Memorial Cup run is also well known for their massive 20 minute brawl with the Chicoutimi Saqueneens, that was an embarrassement for Cup organizers.
