There was no place London Knights fans would rather be on a sunny day than indoors celebrating with their favourite hockey club.
There was no place London Knights fans would rather be on a sunny day than indoors celebrating with their favourite hockey club.
After winning the J Ross Robertson Cup as OHL Champions on the road in Oshawa, Ont., the Knights returned home to celebrate with hundreds of people at Budweiser Gardens.
They carried the trophy around the floor of the arena, showing it off to the fans in the stands, and even allowing some of them to touch the cup.
“It's exciting, and a real opportunity for the fans,” said Sav Neth, president of the London Knights fan club. “The fan base in London are the best fans in the country. To have a thousand people come on a long weekend. You also saw on stage how the players interact with the fans.”
Neth was honoured to present the Knights fan favourite award to defenceman Sam Dickinson.
“It is cool, and everyone on stage said they are the best fans in junior hockey,” said Dickinson.
“For them to think I’m the fan favorite, it was fun out there today.”
