London Knights celebrate 3rd Memorial Cup win
CBC
The London Knights are Memorial Cup champions for a third time beating their opponents in a 4-1 victory Sunday night in Rimouski, Que.
The team won against the Medicine Hat Tigers in the Canadian Major Junior championship game with Easton Cowan becoming the first player since 1972 to lead the tournament in scoring in consecutive years.
Cowan, who scored seven goals, was named MVP for the series.
The Knights won the Memorial Cup in 2005 and 2016. They came close in 2024, losing by one point to the Saginaw Spirit.
Cowan is currently a Toronto Maple Leafs prospect and is tied with Leafs right-winger Mitch Marner for the most Memorial Cup points in franchise history.
London poured it on with three goals in the second period Sunday to take a commanding lead. London and Medicine Hat dominated their respective leagues en route to the Memorial Cup.
At the moment, The Knights have 12 NHL draft picks.
Shekai Mills-Knight, a freshman running back for Ole Miss, will earn some attention Thursday night when his Rebels take on the Miami Hurricanes in an NCAA semifinal football game in Glendale, Ariz., but he first made news a decade ago as a grade-schooler deemed too big for the local little league.
Not so long ago, the prospect of two Canadians meeting in Italy’s Serie A would have seemed an unlikely turn. But on Tuesday night in Reggio Emilia, in the crisp, anxious minutes before the whistle blew and host Sassuolo dug in against Juventus, Ismael Koné and Jonathan David stood on opposite sides of the pitch, pretending not to know each other.
