About Rangers Rally
We're joining together with the Kitchener Rangers for a community-wide celebration and championship parade to celebrate our 2026 Memorial Cup Champions!
Starting at 6 p.m., line King Street between Queen Street and Young Street to welcome back the team and the Memorial Cup. Follow the procession as it makes it way down the street, with the parade ending at Carl Zehr Square. The fun will only continue with a rally celebration featuring player appearances, special remarks, and live music by the Golden Keys.
The first 2,000 fans will be treated to free hot dogs and water thanks to a generous donation from Moose Winooski’s, and free commemorative Memorial Cup team posters thanks to a generous donation from Cober. We are also grateful for the support of Sun Life Financial, who are sponsoring this celebration.
Fans are encouraged to make an evening of it by enjoying dinner on downtown patios before filling the parade route and enjoying the culminating celebrations.
date: June 2, 2026
time: 6 - 7:30 p.m.
