The 2017 Memorial Cup (branded as the 2017 Mastercard Memorial Cup for sponsorship reasons) was a four-team, round-robin format tournament held at the WFCU Centre in Windsor, Ontario from May 19–28, 2017. It was the 99th Memorial Cup championship, which determined the champion of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL). The tournament was hosted by the Windsor Spitfires, who won the right to host the tournament over undisclosed competition.{{cite web|title=OHL Notebook: Windsor gets Memorial Cup|url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/juniors/windsor-spitfires-host-2017-mastercard-memorial-cup-ohl-final-london-knights-niagara-icedogs-fighting-hockey/|website=sportsnet.ca|access-date=29 May 2016|ref=1}} Other participating teams were the OHL champion Erie Otters, the QMJHL champion Saint John Sea Dogs, and the WHL champion Seattle Thunderbirds. The tournament ended with the Windsor Spitfires winning their third Memorial Cup, defeating the Erie Otters 4–3 in the championship final.

The 99th Memorial Cup was dominated by the performances of the two OHL teams. In defeating the Seattle Thunderbirds by 7–1 in a round-robin game on May 21, 2017, the Windsor Spitfires tied a Memorial Cup record for the fastest 3 goals scored by a team in a single period (38 game seconds), matching the record set by the WHL's New Westminster Bruins in the 1978 tournament.{{cite news|last=Coccimiglio|first=Brad|title=Memorial Cup Notebook: Spitfires tie record in win|url=https://www.sootoday.com/local-sports/memorial-cup-notebook-spitfires-tie-record-in-win-621388|access-date=May 24, 2017|location=Windsor, Ontario|publisher=SooToday.com|date=May 21, 2017}} In a round-robin game on May 22, 2017, Dylan Strome scored a Memorial Cup single-game record seven points (four goals and three assists), leading the Erie Otters to a 12–5 win over the Saint John Sea Dogs. The Otters' 12 goals for a team in a single game was also a Memorial Cup record.{{cite news|title=Strome sets record, Otters demolish Sea Dogs at Mastercard Memorial Cup|url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/juniors/strome-sets-record-otters-demolish-sea-dogs-mastercard-memorial-cup/|access-date=May 23, 2017|agency=The Canadian Press|publisher=Sportsnet|date=May 22, 2017}}
